German Government

The German government operates as a federal parliamentary democracy. It consists of three main branches: the executive, led by the Chancellor; the legislative, which includes the Bundestag (Federal Diet) and Bundesrat (Federal Council); and the judiciary. The Chancellor, elected by the Bundestag, is the head of government, responsible for setting policies. The Bundestag represents the people, while the Bundesrat represents the 16 federal states. Elections are held regularly, and political decisions often involve coalition-building among various parties due to Germany's multi-party system. This structure ensures a balance of power and representation for diverse interests within the country.
