The Weimar Republic was made after World War I. There were a lot of levels into government, but the representatives had proportional representation. This meant that if a party gets a certain amount of votes, they get that percentage (out of 100%) in seating. There were lots of parties.
Adolf Hitler first became chancellor of the Weimar Republic. He soon took over as the dictator and basically did whatever he wanted because he ruled by decree.
