- Weaknesses of the Weimar Government and Proportional Representation,
- Proportional Representation made it difficult for one party to get a majority-Governments usually formed weak coalitions who had different ideas,
- Between 1919-32, Germany had 21 different Governments
- It was difficult to pas laws in the Reichstag as the Gov. was weak so the powers was used by the President,
- In 1930, three times as many laws were passed by the President than by the Reichstag,
- Popular Policies
- Tear up the T of V appealed to many. They wanted revenge for being treated badly,
- End unemployment-'Work and Bread'-Provide jobs through schemes such as building 'autobahns' and remilitarising- 6 million unemployed so appealing
- He targeted key groups of voters
- People in cities- 'Work, freedom, bread' to show Nazi's focussed on the need of industrial workers
- People in the countryside-'Blood and soil' to show Nazi's believed that the German nation sprang from farmers,
