Here's a plan I made using a format posted in the previous year's thread. I've added my own notes to it. It's similar to the question you're asking and outlines all the social/political tensions that existed throughout the war.
so for threats to the weimar republic from the constitution:
Article 48 let the president rule by decree, which demonstrated a threatto the republic as it provided the president with a lot of power over Germany. . This was a significant threat as it limited the democratic side of therepublic as anyone who could persuade the president could essentially takecontrol of the republic.
Another weakness of the constitution itself wasthe voting system it used to elect members of the Reichstag. Proportional representation meantthat it was increasingly difficult for a single party to gain a majority in theReichstag. i.e. for 1 seat they needed 60,000 votes
, article 54 of theWeimar constitution, allowed the judiciary to maintain their independence. Thisprivilege was often misused to undermine the Republic. It was the judiciary’smisinterpretation of the constitution that posed a threat to the republic, asjudges were more lenient towards those who tried to destroy the new democracy,i.e. right wing violence. for example with hitler and the munich putsch

This is great thank you!! You're far more helpful than my history teacher
Hi, Does anyone have any examples and facts for 'how efficient was the nazi regime'? Im in most need for 'not efficient' examples too! this is for the Part B controversy, thank youuu - i hate this section!
Ahh okay marvellous thanks! Damn there's so much to talk about :O
I know its ridiculous!! I've tried to just remember the key points and the ones that link together as luckily these factors have really easy links to each other so i really like this type of question haha

Fingers crossed a nice straight forward question comes up......
What different types of questions could be asked about the opposition during ww2?
I think the main question will be how serious opposition was
They may ask you to assess which was the most serious opposition ie "to what extent do you agree that the church provided the most serious opposition to the Nazi regime from 1939-1945?"
What are the chances of two topics being put together? For example the second reich and the Weimar Republic Or The Weimar Republic and the nazis
That'd be a first so I doubt it! As it's the last exam of this cycle they will more than likely keep it the same as previous years, so have questions on Weimar & Nazi's etc as separate topics ^_^

Good I hope they don't ask any complicated questions
Ugh hope not Have you got a plan on how to tackle a question on opposition faced during ww2?
Take the different groups of opposition and talk about them in order of which was the greatest threat (unless it gives you a stated factor, then start with that) and work your way down. For me I would talk about;
