| 520 | _aThis article highlights Max Weber’s influence on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany. It was not only the right of parliamentary inquiry and the unique unitarian federal state model that he influenced, but also the legitimization of political parties, and the principle of free representation of representatives. Weber, who had previously been an advisor during the drafting of the Weimar Constitution, still had influence during the constitution-making process for Germany’s Basic Law in 1949. Many founding fathers of the Constitution and leading politicians of the post-war period, such as Konrad Adenauer, Theodor Heuss, and Carlo Schmid, even treated him as a figurehead. Therefore, I argue that Weber’s depiction as an alleged supporter of the “plebiscitary leader democracy” should be revised, for, in truth, he was an advocate of representative democracy. | ||
