The Basic Law, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany, has placed the German Bundestag at the centre of Germany’s representative democracy. The Bundestag’s function is to form a majority which allows a government to take up office and remain in power for the duration of the electoral term. It is responsible for scrutinising the work of the government and other executive bodies. And the Bundestag is assigned a central function in the legislative process at federal level and in approving the budget. Due to this special status, the German Bundestag is generally regarded as the most important body in Germany’s political opinion-forming and decision-making process. |
