As much as this interests me, it's a little too vague to upvote even if it were on an explicitly-political forum. But I'll comment because I'm a sucker that way.

> Law for the Restoration of a Professional Civil Service

Modern parallels to that [0] have definitely been on my mind recently. To recycle a comment from 10 days ago:

> > [§4] Officials whose previous political activities do not guarantee that they will always be fully committed to the national state may be dismissed from service.

> > [§7] Dismissal from office [...] shall be pronounced by the highest Reich or state authority, which shall make the final decision without recourse to the courts.

> And that's how the freshly-arrived executive guy started unilaterally firing people he felt were insufficiently servile to his agenda, ignoring prior checks-and-balances and without appeal.
