Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution allowed the President to take emergency measures without the consent of the Reichstag, effectively granting the government significant powers during times of crisis. Hitler exploited this article after the Reichstag Fire in 1933, persuading President Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree, which suspended civil liberties and allowed for the arrest of political opponents. This maneuver facilitated the consolidation of power by the Nazi Party, as it enabled them to suppress dissent and eliminate rivals, paving the way for Hitler's totalitarian regime.
Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution was invoked in Germany during the early 1930s, particularly from 1930 to 1933, as political instability and economic crises intensified. It allowed the President to rule by decree in times of emergency without parliamentary approval. Notably, it was used by President Paul von Hindenburg to bypass the Reichstag and enable Chancellor Heinrich Brüning’s austerity measures. Ultimately, the frequent use of Article 48 contributed to the erosion of democratic norms and facilitated the rise of Adolf Hitler.
Article 48 of the Weimar constitution allowed the president to rule by decree at times of an emergency and gave the president the right to override the Reichstag and provide leadership "above party".Article 48 of the Weimar constitution made provision for rule by decree in an emergency.
Article 48 was more than a threat to the Weimar Republic - it was the final nail in it's coffin, as it effectively gave Hitler the power to turn Germany's government into a dictatorship. Article 48 states that in times of emergency, complete power can be given to the Chancellor without the consent of the Reichstag. In the US, this would be the equivalent to allowing the President to do whatever he pleases without consulting the Senate first. With that said, US presidents, such as President Lincoln, were able to skirt around the Bill of Rights in his capacity as Commander in Chief. Many political scientists believe that a republic's constitution have an article whereby a president can use "absolute" powers to safeguard the republic.
