Mr. Salmi wrote in part-

I skimmed through the constitution and didn't find much on elections so

you're right about that.

The Weimar Constitution in German:

D-  The W.C. likely got some mention in the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials after 
World War II.

The western Allies obviously looked at the W.C. in 1945-1949 leading to the 
formation of the old West Germany regime (i.e.--- by removing the more fatal 
provisions in the W.C. used by Hitler to get power and become a 
tyrant-killer).

Thus - there should be some English texts of the W.C. floating around 
someplace.

We learn (hopefully) from the political disasters of the past -- the past 
circa 5,000 plus years of mostly lunatic monarchs and oligarchs with *real* 
democratic regimes -- few and far between.
