The legislative branch of the Weimar Republic consisted primarily of two chambers: the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. The Reichstag was the lower house, elected by proportional representation, which allowed for a diverse range of political parties. The Reichsrat, the upper house, represented the various German states and had limited legislative power compared to the Reichstag. This structure was intended to ensure democratic representation but ultimately contributed to political instability during the Weimar era.
