Summary
How did Hugo Preuß, father of the Weimar Constitution, conceptualize federalism? According to Almut Neumann, Prussia - which was both the German Empire's and the Weimar Republic's biggest single state, and went from hegemonic dominion to bulwark of democracy before being stripped of power in 1932 - is the key to understanding Preuß's innovative take on federalism.
