German Constitutional Court

The German Constitutional Court, known as the Bundesverfassungsgericht, is a key judicial authority in Germany responsible for upholding the country's constitution, or Basic Law. Established in 1951, it ensures that laws and government actions comply with constitutional principles. Citizens can challenge laws or actions that they believe violate their rights. The Court also resolves disputes between state institutions and interprets constitutional provisions. Its decisions are binding and play a vital role in maintaining democracy, protecting human rights, and ensuring the rule of law in Germany.
