🎬 Conclusion: Cooperation of Institutions
-
- The Federal Government often introduces the initial drafts, but all three bodies – Bundestag, Bundesrat, government – can take the initiative.
- The Bundestag debates, checks, amends and decides on the law.
- The Bundesrat represents state interests and can delay or demand changes to laws.
- The Federal President has a supervisory role before the law becomes valid.
-
This cooperation ensures democratic control, balance, and consideration of various interests – as shown with the example environmental law, many hurdles must be overcome before a law comes into force.
