Previó a medias un sistema parlamentario, un derecho del Parlamento a controlar al gobierno, pero atribuyó al Presidente del Reich la facultad de elegir y nombrar al canciller, al que le correspondía también el poder de disolver el parlamento a su antojo, e importantes poderes excepcionales. Los deméritos de ese diseño, para el que Hugo Preuß, el redactor de la Constitución de Weimar, se había basado en una teoría del parlamentarismo desarrollada por el jurista alsaciano Robert Redslob, contribuyeron al fracaso final de la Constitución.
