Federal Constitutional Court

The Federal Constitutional Court is Germany’s highest authority for protecting the country's Basic Law (constitution). It ensures that laws and government actions comply with constitutional principles. When disputes arise over constitutional matters, individuals or entities can bring cases before the court. Its decisions help shape the interpretation and safeguarding of fundamental rights, maintaining the legal order's integrity. The court operates independently, ensuring checks and balances within Germany's democratic system, and plays a crucial role in upholding the rule of law.
