Constitutional Court of Germany

The Constitutional Court of Germany, known as the Federal Constitutional Court, is the highest authority responsible for ensuring that laws and government actions comply with the German Basic Law (constitution). It reviews legislation, protects fundamental rights, and resolves constitutional disputes between governmental bodies and, in some cases, individuals. Located in Karlsruhe, it operates independently from other branches of government, maintaining the rule of law and safeguarding democratic principles. Its decisions are final and binding, playing a crucial role in upholding the constitutional order and individual freedoms in Germany.
