  • Politics of Germany take place in a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republican constitutional monarchy. The Chancellor is the head of government, appointed by the Kaiser, and approved by the Reichstag. He is the leader of a plurality multi-party system. The federal legislative power is vested in the parliament (Reichstag) and the Reichsrat as the representation of the regional states. Since 1947, the party system has been dominated by the National Liberal Party (NLP) and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The Judiciary of Germany is independent of the executive and the legislature. The political system is laid out in the 1871 constitution, as well as the 1948 Volksverfassung, essentially an addendum to the 1871 Constitution, with minor amendments since. The constitution emphasizes the protection of individual liberty and an extensive catalog of human rights, and also divides powers between both the federal and state levels of government; federally it divides powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, providing for a series of checks and balances on their powers.
