ARTICLE 178
The Constitution of the German Empire of April 16, 1871, and the law of February 10, 1919, relating to the provisional government of the Commonwealth, are repealed.
The other laws and regulations of the Empire remain in force, in so far as they do not conflict with this Constitution. The provisions of the Treaty of Peace signed on June 28, 1919, at Versailles, are not affected by the Constitution.
Official regulations, legally issued on the authority of laws heretofore in effect, retain their validity until superseded by other regulations or legislation.
