Summary
A hundred years after its creation, the Weimar Constitution appears in many respects to be both modern and up-to-date. Only, the traditional image we have of it is quite different from how it really was. Christoph Gusy's retrospective reveals the actual lessons, opportunities and risks of the Weimar Constitution, and above all points out the achievements that the young Federal Republic was able to take advantage of.
