Dictatorship Seen As Germany's Hope In Crisis
Berlin October 4 reports suggest constitutional experts debated the parliamentary crisis after Chancellor Stresemann's retirement. A constitutional dictatorship was viewed as the only alternative to President Ebert’s prerogative under Paragraph 48, with Dr Hugo Preuss interpreting the clause to avoid minority rule and authorize emergency measures. The scenario assumes Stresemann lacks a two thirds Reichstag majority, pushing for extraordinary dictatorship under Paragraph 44 to shield the state from parliamentary opposition.
