Most would argue that economical problems posed little threat to the Weimar Republic as opposed to political problems. Political issues brought long-term damages that threatened the stability of the German people's livelihoods but also the German government itself, which could be defined by "greater" challenges. Political challenges that Germany faced include the instability of coalitions in the Reichstag, and several extremist political putsches and uprisings during 1919-1923.

The coalition government was a significant factor of the Weimar Republic, with its unity of multiple political parties giving a facade of a stable governing body. Coalition governments are set up when no single party can gain an overwhelming majority vote, forming a mixture of different parties to govern Germany instead. This mix of ranging ideologies result in an ununified government, with its aims obscure and their key goals unidentified. This poses a great threat to the Republic as it emphasises their weakness and inability to carry out concrete actions that line up with their policies. The nature of coalition governments also encouraged the rise of extremist, radical parties in the Reichstag, such as the Nazi party. This creates a sense of fear within the government as more violent parties may arise and attempt to overthrow the government. These minority parties may lead fatal uprisings or rebellions that further threaten Germany as a whole.

Extremist putsches and political assassinations plagued the war-worn Germany during 1919 to 1923, threatening the German people but also the Weimar Republic. Political assassinations usually focused on the 'November Criminals', politicians and important figures who signed and agreed the Treaty of Versailles, thought to have betrayed Germany. People such as Hugo Haase were killed by extremist members of the society. This poses a threat to the Weimar Republic as it undermines the control of extremist parties and the fact that politicians can't leave their houses without the fear of being assassinated. Furthermore, large putsches such as the Spartacist Uprising in 1919 led by Luxemburg and Liebknecht from the communist KPD, although destroyed by Freikorp units, posed considerable threat to the Republic as it worsened relations between the governing SPD and the KPD, losing support from left wing parties as well. Right wing putsches such as the Kapp Putsch was also very significant for the stability of the government, with the lack of army support, the fleeing Republic could only rely on the people striking. This heavily undermines the Weimar Government's control of radical political parties and questions their influence without the backing of the imperial army.

However, some may argue that economical problems were far more significant than political, with its influence affecting a long period of time and a wide range of people. The hyperinflation crisis of 1923 significantly hammered German Mittelstand and the lower working class, as prices multiplied in a matter of hours. This is a weak argument, though, as the Weimar Republic itself did not struggle in the crisis, instead turning the event into an advantage and benefited from it as the inflation lowers the value of loans, allowing the government to pay its reparations easier. Some historians even argue that the hyperinflation crisis was carefully crafted by the government to ease financial pressure of the Republic.

In conclusion, most would argue that political issues were more detrimental than economical problems for Weimar Germany during 1919 to 1923.
