The Weimar Republic

The two articles that I'm going to interpret are:

Article 42
The Reich President, when taking his office, swears the following oath :
I swear to devote my energy to the welfare of the German people, to increase its prosperity, to prevent damage, to hold up the Reich constitution and its laws, to consciously honour my duties and to exercise justice to every individual.
The addition of a religious formula is acceptable.

To me this article is very important, because every country needs to feel that somebody is going to protect them. By saying that the Reich President swears to increase prosperity, prevent damage, and honor its duties, it all sounds very good, but it's also really good to see it happening. These type of devotions are important to humanity because without them we wouldn't trust the president. This one is not 100% protected in the present. Presidents are always promising a lot, but they don't always meet what they promised, and it's very sad.


Article 113
Reich communities speaking a foreign language may not be deprived by legislation of their national identity, especially in the use of their mother language in education, in local administration and jurisdiction.
This article is interesting, because it's basically saying that there should be no discrimination to those that comes from a foreign country. What is 
trying to say is that Reich communities are not going to discriminate
those are not from the community. This is very important to humanity
because it shows that everybody is equal, and they have the same
rights and no privileges are given. They are somewhat protected in 
the present, but there are still people that discriminate against others,
and it's sad because we are all humans and we all come from the sample 
place, even if you speak a different language, or you are a different
color.
