Germany was expected to pay reparations after WWI. War damaged their country, and left it in pieces. They had very little money to rebuild their buildings and roads because of the reparations.
<span>One of the most apparent components and factors of the federal government as established by the writers of the Constitution can be seen in the democratic aspect of the three branches, implemented as a means of ensuring that not one part of the government becomes too powerful.</span>
High-quality democracy requires a truly democratic rule of law that ensures political rights, civil liberties, and mechanisms of accountability which in turn affirm the political equality of all citizens and constrain potential abuses of state power.
High-quality democracy requires a truly democratic rule of law that ensures political rights, civil liberties, and mechanisms of accountability which in turn affirm the political equality of all citizens and constrain potential abuses of state power. How may the democratic rule of law (état de droit, estado democrático de derecho, Rechsstaat) be conceptualized and, insofar as possible, empirically gauged? By exploring a set of variables within the rule of law we can understand what makes it effective and how it relates to other aspects of the performance of democratic countries. This essay focuses on contemporary Latin America (especially Argentina and Brazil) where national-level democratic regimes often effectively coexist with undemocratic sub-national regimes—so-called “brown areas.”

<span>During the Great Depression, the role of the federal government changed tremendously. Before the Depression hit, the federal government did little or nothing to help people financially. This was not seen as something the government ought to do. With the Depression came a change in this perception. President Roosevelt's New Deal made government responsible for helping people in many ways. These ways ranged from guaranteeing that they would not lose money they had deposited in banks (FDIC) to ensuring that they would have money to live on after they retired (Social Security). In general, the New Deal brought on a new role for government, one in which the government did a great deal more to help individuals financially.
