Judicial review, Democracy, Fundamental rightsAbstract
The article starts with an analysis of a bill concerning the constitutionality control of Reich laws provisions and argues against such a proposal. The proposal embodied a minority view under the Bismarckian Constitution but gained majority under the Weimar Constitution due to constitutional developments in favor of workers. In this context, the author advocates for parliamentary sovereignty over the judiciary and highlights reactionary tendencies in the exercise of judicial power, emphasizing fundamental rights as a target of dispute against workers, to the detriment of the democratic configuration forged by the German Revolution.
