Grundgesetz (GG)

The Grundgesetz (Basic Law) is Germany’s constitution, established in 1949 to define the country's legal framework and protect fundamental rights. It sets out the structure of government, ensuring a democratic, parliamentary system with separation of powers among the executive, legislature, and judiciary. It guarantees core rights such as freedom of speech, equality, and human dignity, serving as the supreme legal authority. The Grundgesetz also provides mechanisms for amendments and safeguards against abuses of power, fostering stability, rule of law, and respect for individual rights in Germany.
