How did the limited social base of the Weimar coalition affect democratic stability?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It made broad public support for democracy difficult

The direct answer is option A: it made broad public support for democracy difficult. A coalition is stable only when important sections of society accept and support it. The Weimar coalition was connected mainly with moderate democratic parties and did not receive equally strong support from all workers, conservatives, nationalists and other groups. Because its social base was limited, many people did not feel that the new republic represented them. This weakened legitimacy, meaning public belief that the government had a rightful authority. Option A is correct because limited support makes democratic institutions vulnerable. Option B is wrong: limited support cannot automatically strengthen democracy. Option C is wrong: social support for the coalition did not end reparations imposed after the war. Option D is wrong: Article 48, which gave emergency powers to the president, was not removed by the coalition’s limited base. Exam cue: limited social base leads to weak legitimacy, and weak legitimacy makes democracy fragile.
