Weimar Constitution

Section 1 
Article 27
"In between sessions or election periods the outgoing president and vice-president continue to proceed business."

      This is saying that during the process of a new president and vice-president coming into office, the current president and vice-president will remain dealing with the issues at hand. They will still be responsible for handling whatever business that needs to be taken care of
        I chose this section because it shows that at all times, someone with power will be in control. No business or issues will get left unsupervised or ignored or not taken care of. There will always be someone in charge and in control of whatever they may face.

Section 2
Article 109
          "All Germans are equal in front of the law. In principle, men and women have the same rights and obligations. Legal privileges or disadvantages based on birth or social standing are to be abolished. Noble titles form part of the name only; noble titles may not be granted any more. Titles may only be granted, if they indicate an office or occupation; academic degrees are not affected by this regulation.The state may no more bestow orders and medals. No German may accept titles or orders from a foreign government
."

     This means that in regard to the law everyone is equal and their equality is protected by the law. Men and women are equipped with the same rights. Social standings have no effect on a persons privileges under the law and titles are only granted to those in an office or an occupation, or an academic degree. There is no more form of order, allowed.
     I chose this article because I feel it is the most important one with regards to the people. Since there is no more social order and basically every form of discrimination is abolished, there will be less feuds amongst themselves and they can build up and focus on being a stronger nation to fight off their enemies. When it comes to a persons life, nobody is worth more than the other based on a name or title, which is how it should be.
