As the Treaty of Versailles was signed, turmoil took over in Weimar Germany. Many prestigious and high ranking individuals publicly spoke out against signing the treaty. The Reichstag barely voted in the affirmative to sign the treaty, This further inflamed many on the right and left, while nationalism rose and many government officials resigned and re-entered the government. After the Schiedemann-Hindenburg Addendum in June 1919, the two months afterwards were chaotic yet again. It wasn't until September 1919 when things began to settle down as the Treaty of Versailles became more and more of a reality rather than a boogeyman and most importantly, the Bolshevik threat reached nominally German land in Memel.
The Weimar Republic in this period finally wrote and passed a Constitution for Germany, which passed by a large margin. The destruction of the communists in Bavaria and the success of the new government there lead to a growth in popularity of both the far right for their success and the far left for a lesser direct threat of revolutionary communists. Minister positions finally stabilized with Eduard Bernstein [USPD] as Chancellor, Otto Gessler [DDP] as the Minister of Defence, Hermann Muller as the Minister of Foreign Affairs [SDP], Rudolf Wisser [SDP] as Minister of Economics, Otto Landsberg [SDP] as Minister of Justice, and Karl Liebknecht [USDP] as Minister of Labor.
M: The only change from the OTL Constitution is a lowering of the voting age from 20 to 18
