16. Carl Schmitt, Volksentscheid und Volksbegehren. Ein Beitrag zur Auslegung der
Weimarer Verfassung und zur Lehre von der unmittelbaren Demokratie (Berlin &
Leipzig: Walter de Grutyer & Co., 1927). This text is an expanded version of a lecture
given on December 11, 1926.
17. Rudolf Smend, Verfassung und Verfassungsrecht (1928), in Smend, Staatsrechtliche
Abhandlungen und andere Aufsätze, 2d ed. (Berlin: Duncker & Humblot, 1968), 152
(1st ed., 1955).
18. Thoma, "Zur Ideologie des Parlamentarismus." Compared to Weber and Preuss,
Friedrich Naumann exercised little influence on Carl Schmitt; it could also be argued
that despite Thoma's view of them as roughly equal in their influence, Naumann's ideas
played a much smaller part in the shape of the Weimar constitution than did the thought
of the others. But see Theodor Heuss, Friedrich Naumann: Der Mann, Das Werk
(Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1949), and Naumann's Werke, ed. Theodor
Schieder, Wolfgang Mommsen, el al. (Cologne & Opladen: Westdeutscher Verlag,
1964).

22. Harold Laski, The Foundations of Sovereignty (New York; Harcourt Brace & Co.,
1921). Lord Acton complained that the Swiss constitution of 1874 was "separating
decision from deliberation" because it provided for plebiscites. See Acton's review of
Erskine May's Democracy in Europe (1877) in Acton's The History of Freedom and
Other Essays (London: Macmillan, 1907). It is not clear from Laski's text whether he
knew Acton's essay or not, but Carl Schmitt certainly takes the phrase from Laski, not
Acton.

24. See for example Leo Wittmayer's review of the first edition of Parlamentarismus in
the Archiv des öffentlichen Rechts 47/N.F. 8 (1925), 231–233. Wittmayer was the author
of Deutscher Reichstag und Reichsregierung (1918), Die Weimarer Reichsverfassung
(1922), and Parlamentarismus und Demokratie (1928).
