German Parliament

The German Parliament, known as the Bundestag, is the country's primary legislative body responsible for making laws, debating policies, and overseeing the government. Members, elected every four years through a mixed-member proportional system, represent various political parties and work on issues like the economy, education, and foreign policy. The Bundestag collaborates with the Federal Council (Bundesrat), which represents the states (Länder). Together, they ensure democratic governance, scrutinize executive actions, and shape national legislation, playing a central role in Germany’s political system.
