These materials demonstrate judges'' willingness to provide interpretative leadership. But they also demonstrate how judges relinquish their leadership roles when their aligned counterparts disagree.

Specifically, concerns have been raised over the impact of the growth of P2P accommodation on local housing markets, residents' well-being and the environment as a result of the touristification of residential areas.

November 1918war Hugo Preuß von der Regierung der Volksbeauftragten zum Staatssekretär des Innern ernannt und mit der Ausarbeitung eines Entwurfs des Allgemeinen Teils der künftigen Verfassung beauftragt worden. Nach dem Gesetz über die vorläufige Reichsgewalt vom 10.2.1010 wurde Friedrich Ebert von der Nationalversammlung zum Reichspräsidenten gewählt und Hugo Preuß zum ersten parlamentarisch verantwortlicher Reichsminister des Innern ernannt. Wegen der Bedingungen des Versailler Friedensvertrags trat er mit der Regierung Scheidemann als Innenminister zurück, führte aber als Kommissar der Reichsregierung die Verhandlungen der Verfassunggebenden Deutschen Nationalversammlung bis zum erfolgreichen Abschluss weiter und gilt deshalb als \"Vater der Weimarer Verfassung\". vom 11.8.1919. Nach dem Scheitern der Paulskirchenverfassung von 1848\/49 war das der zweite Versuch, in Deutschland die Demokratie zu verankern. Der vorliegende Band ist, was erst allmählich erkannt wird, in vieler Hinsicht die Basis des heutigen Grundgesetzes. Sie scheiterte nicht an Architekturfehlern, sondern daran, dass eine demokratische Verfassung von einer entsprechenden politischen Kultur gestützt werden muss. Die theoretische Frage, ob die Bismarck-Verfassung hätte reformiert werden können, war nach Flucht und Thronverzicht des Kaisers praktisch entschieden. Der erste Entwurf mit der Denkschrift vom 3.1.1919 trägt die Handschrift von Preuß. Da er es für ausgeschlossen hielt nach der Revolution der Bolschewiki die deutsche Revolution weiterzutreiben, waren auch Gegner der Demokratie zur Konstituierenden Nationalversammlung wahlberechtigt. Deshalb konnte die Weimarer Reichsverfassung nur ein \"Kompromiss\" sein. Die Kämpfe um das Verfassungswerk von Weimar vermitteln ein faszinierendes Bild dieser tragischen Periode unserer Geschichte.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49537300627799,"sku":"9783161505232","price":131.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161505232.jpg?v=1731906140"},{"product_id":"transformation-of-church-and-state-relations-in-great-britain-and-germany-9783832978624","title":"Transformation of Church and State Relations in","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49539449717079,"sku":"9783832978624","price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"2020-cumulative-supplement-to-north-carolina-crimes-a-guidebook-on-the-elements-of-crime-9781642380187","title":"2020 Cumulative Supplement to North Carolina","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"School of Government","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50114088173911,"sku":"9781642380187","price":33.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642380187.jpg?v=1741175350"},{"product_id":"budgeting-in-north-carolina-local-governments-9781642380217","title":"Budgeting in North Carolina Local Governments","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"School of Government","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50114091188567,"sku":"9781642380217","price":30.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642380217.jpg?v=1741175373"},{"product_id":"local-government-law-9781685612603","title":"Local Government Law","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition continues the emphasis of prior editions on such topics as the relationship of local governments to state and federal governments; the needs of local governments for territory, for personnel, and for adequate financing; and the principal activities and possible liabilities of local government.
