German Constitution (Grundgesetz)
The German Constitution, called the Grundgesetz, is Germany’s fundamental law established in 1949. It outlines the organization of government, guarantees basic rights like freedom of speech and equality, and sets principles for justice and democracy. It ensures that power is divided among the executive, legislature, and judiciary, and protects individual rights from government interference. The Grundgesetz acts as the highest legal authority in Germany, guiding laws and policies to uphold democratic values and human dignity. It was created to foster stability, prevent dictatorship, and promote fundamental freedoms for all citizens.
