Abstract
The Weimar Constitution is a milestone in the history of constitutionalism, being the founding document of a new historical type of constitution
that came to replace the liberal constitution of the nineteenth century: the democratic and social constitution, which has been acting as a model to
imitate in the “second moment” of democratic constitutionalism, identified with the values and principles of the Social State of Law. It was not,
therefore, the text, but the economic, social and political context of the Weimar Republic that determined its tragic fate. However, it is no less true
that certain institutions and constitutional structures contributed significantly to its inability to exercise an effective integrative function and to
consolidate a democratic republic in Germany
