Landtag
A Landtag is a regional parliament in Germany, responsible for making laws and decisions within a specific federal state, similar to a state legislature in the U.S. or a provincial assembly. It is elected by residents of that region and functions as the legislative body that debates policies, approves budgets, and oversees the regional government. Each Landtag reflects the political representation of its area, ensuring local interests are addressed within the larger federal structure of Germany.
