Article 48 (Weimar Constitution)
Okay, so imagine you and your friends are playing a game and you're the leader. You make the rules and if anyone breaks them, you can punish them.
Now, let's imagine this is happening in a big country and there are lots of other leaders who also make rules for their parts of the country. But sometimes, they don't agree on what the rules should be.
Article 48 in the Weimar Constitution was made during a time when Germany was trying to rebuild after a big war. It said that the country's leader, called the President, could make decisions without having to ask for permission from other people in charge.
This was helpful because it meant that the President could act quickly in emergencies, like if there was a big problem that needed to be fixed right away. But some people didn't like it because they thought the President could become too powerful and do things that weren't fair.
So, it's kinda like you being the leader of your game and being able to make decisions without asking everyone else, but some people might not like that because they think you might make unfair choices.
