 | | Germany is a federal republic whose 16 states have their own constitutions, legislatures, and governments, which can pass laws on all matters except those that are the exclusive right of the federal government such as defense, foreign affairs, and finance. | | | The new republic was similar in structure to the Weimar Republic, except that the individual states had somewhat more power, and the president’s powers were much reduced. | | | Executive authority lies with the federal government, whose leader, the federal chancellor, is elected by an absolute majority of the Bundestag for a four-year term. |

| | Articles - Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany |
| | Basic rights are fundamental to the Basic Law, very much in contrast to the Weimar Constitution which listed them merely as "state objectives." Under the premise to respect human dignity, all state power is directly bound to guarantee these basic rights. | | | The guardian of the Basic Law is the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) whose judgements have the weight of ordinary law. | | | The new constitution for West Germany was originally to be drafted by a constituent assembly and submitted to a plebiscite for ratification. |
