Article 109
All Germans are equal in front of the law.
In principle, men and women have the same rights and obligations.
Legal privileges or disadvantages based on birth or social standing are to be abolished.
Noble titles form part of the name only; noble titles may not be granted any more.
Titles may only be granted, if they indicate an office or occupation; academic degrees are not affected by this regulation.
The state may no more bestow orders and medals.
No German may accept titles or orders from a foreign government.

Article 181
The German people, by the means of its national assembly, has passed and ratified this constitution. It takes force on the day of its proclamation.

Article 108
In accordance with a law, a supreme court will be established for the German Reich.

Second Part
Basic rights and obligations of the Germans

Article 1 The German Reich is a republic. State authority derives from the people.

If I am to interpret these two articles as a whole, what I understand is that they have a federal government. However, it seems to have a wording of central control, rather than an individual state control.  Since it cannot simply run as individual state policies, but only federally, I sense a mechanism for dictatorship to blossom here in this format.  It seems to have the right idea in terms of supreme courts and federal government with Article 108.

With article one, it also seems to imply that what is best for the people is what its purpose it.  However, the basic rights and obligations title seems to have an undertone of possible interpretation from a government official clash from administration to administration.  These articles are too loosely worded. Since everything is federal, something can go wrong with the interpretations from region to region.

109-181

These articles depict that under 181, protesting is forbidden.  You can't tell someone that laws are permanent and are enforced without a protest.

Then, 109 is stating that the German is to be loyal to his country and not abide by any rules from foreign countries.  It also states that no special family name is going to get you any special privilege status. I you are part of a political party, it is because of the office or occupation that you declare with your accomplishments to be part of the government.  Men and women are equal.

This one is a little lighter and more plausible.
