Best Answer

A great many delegates from all over Germany attended the convention in Weimar in 1919 to help create a new constitution. The primary author of the constitution was Hugo Preuss, an attorney and liberal politician. Preuss was also a Jew, a fact that the Nazis were able to use to their advantage during their later campaigns to replace the Weimar Republic with an authoritarian Nazi state.

What is the purpose of the constitutional rights?

We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. Contrary to popular belief, the Constitution does not grant rights to the people but expressly prohibits the government from interfering in certain unalienable rights that can only be given (and thus can only be taken) by our Creator. Many of the other papers and communications of the founding fathers also supports these beliefs and the Constitution was actually written to limit the powers of the federal government and not to grant rights to we the people.


What does Endowed by their creator mean in the Declaration of independence?

That these rights are given to us by our creator and that they cannot be taken away because they are given to us by said creator. This answer once equated "creator" with "God" but this was not accurate.

Why was the Weimar Republic based on Weimar?

The expression Weimar Republic is a nickname which only came into use after the republic had collapsed. If you look at stamps issued in 1919-32 you'll find that they say Deutsches Reich. This was a concession to hardline conservatives, who had an absolute horror of the word republic. The republic created in 1918-19 was not in fact 'based on Weimar'. The point is that the National Assembly met in Weimar in 1919 in order to work out a new constitution in peaceful surroundings, away from Berlin.
