Anything read on the internet must be true. (sarc) Avoid getting your information there.
#1......no.

INTERNMENT CAMPS.
THANKS.
1) Concentration Camps, I believe first were established by the British during the Boer War. The Nazis has Concentration Camps for political dissidents in the 1930s. The Nazis set up a small number of Death Camps in the 1940s after the Wannsee Conference.
2) The Weimar Constitution predated the Nazis and was (mostly) not a bad document. I don’t think the Nazis technically cancelled that document,
3) One fault would be Article 48 which allowed the Chancellor to ignore the constitution if a state of emergency was declared. Hitler came to power, declared a state of emergency and basically made himself a dictator. Nothing prevented this.
4/5) The US Constitution, in my opinion, should have established this country as a Christian nation, but with no specific denomination. No established government controlled church. But Christian. Also the Second Amendment should have been written more clearly. I believe it gives Individuals the right to bear arms, and I believe it blocks states from infringing this right. But that interpretation has not been universal over the years, as we well know.
Also, I think Congress should have been mandated to attach the specific Constitutional clause which allows them to pass each and every piece of legislation. Establishing a Department of Education? Where does the Constitution say that the federal government can do that?
Also, I think income tax is evil, and I think the constitution should have explicitly said that it was not allowed.
1) Of course not. Anyone that answers yes to that one is an historical idiot and should be ignored on all historical issues. Concentration camps were actually popularized by the British, not the Germans. They have also been used by the Americans and French.
One’s political leanings will generally determine if some of the current camps are concentration camps, internment camps, or refugee centers. In any event, they represent a concentration of locally identified undesirables in a more or less secure and separated facility.
2) I’ll answer that one with a different question: Are you aware that 9 of the original members of Hitler’s cabinet weren’t even Nazis?
As I understand it, concentration camps eventually became largely indistinguishable from death camps.

Mark Steyn interviewed F.H. Buckley & had some interesting conversation on what was bad about the US constitution & good about the Canadian constitution. You might give it a listen as you do your research...

The Constitution can say anything, and mean nothing if the Court doesn’t uphold it. The Tenth Amendment is clear, and essentially nullified by the Supreme Court.
