Weimar Constitution

Weimar Constitution 

First Chapter : the Reich and the States 

The Reich furthermore is responsible for legislation regarding taxation and other revenues, as far as they are fully or partly used to pay its expenses. If the Reich uses taxation which hitherto has contributed to the budget of the states, it has to consider the viability of the states. 

I think the main point here is that it is important to preserve the rights of the people in legislation and revenues. The investments made through taxation should be benevolent and should favor the growth of the state and the people and not of a business or industry. The kingdom should consider and provide financial safety for all people. I chose this part because it’s an essential key component to socialism that should be adopted by all governments. 

Third Chapter : Religion and Religious Communities. 

All Reich inhabitants enjoy full freedom of liberty and conscience. Undisturbed practice of religion is guaranteed by the constitution and is placed under the protection of the state. General state laws are not affected hereby. 

This is important and I chose it because I believe that we should have the freedom to individual inner feelings or voices that guided us through rightness or wrongness although it’s conflicting to understand other religious views, especially those that support physical harm of ourselves and others. Most of us can agree that religion in itself is a system of inequality, it's inconsistent and variable. It’s restrictive because most of our values are taught through religion and values shape our way of thinking about other people and ourselves. But, however much we cherish our beliefs we continue to be refined as we age and grow and challenge our previous knowledge which is why having full freedom of liberty and conscience is appropriate. It’s important to belong as it gives meaning to what we do, it gives us direction, comfort, and security but the idea that we have the capability to deviate from religious practices is a freedom that’s necessary.
