6/19 The Weimar Republic


Governments in debt often times are forced to print more money to spend their way out of immediate problems which only increases inflation. In Germany’s case this began in 1914 when the decision was made (unopposed) to pay for the costs of the war by borrowing money, not by raising taxes or other means of increasing government revenue. 

This passage indicate one reason why inflation occur in some countries. Government leaders always try to cover up any bad news that could affect their political carrier for this reason they end up borrowing more money It also tell how much war can cause and the long term effect of war. It is easier to borrow money than to raise taxes because by the time people star feeling the impact it might be too late. This is why the German government did not raise taxes to finance the war instead they borrow money which end up doing more harm to their total economic.

This is a common cense theory do not spend money that you may never be able to pay back and don't get into problems that you cannot solve. The same theory can be apply in the US as well. We are borrowing money from China to fight wars that have no ending.

Public schooling has to be organized organically. Middle and high schools are based on an elementary school common for everybody. For the organization of the school system the variety of occupations, for the acceptance of a child into a school his talent and inclination, but not the economic and social position nor the religious confession of his parents are authoritative.Within the communities, at the request of Erziehungsberechtigten (legal guardian), Volksschulen (primary school) of their confession or world outlook have to be established, if this does not obstruct the regular operation of the school. The wish of those Erziehungsberechtigter has, when possible, to be considered. Further details are specified by state legislation, according to principles laid down in a Reich law.Reich, states and communities have to provide funds to allow poor children access to middle and high schools, to grant financial aid to parents, whose children are regarded qualified for the education on middle and high schools, until their education is ended.

This outline one of the different between US policy and German policy when it comes to child education. Weimar Constitution believe that education is a right for every child either rich or poor. The Reich law provides free education for primary, middle and high school children. rights (Art 109-181). 

I choose this passages because it cover one of the most important fundamental right for human development. Education makes the world better therefore by providing this right to all your citizen means growth and development for the future of your country. I  thing this policy makes Germany to be in the position that it is today.
