m1. POL. Bundestag, Lower House (of the German Parliament)2. HIST. (1815-1866) Diet of the German Confederation* * *The German Bundestag is the representative body of the Federal Republic of Germany and is elected by the people every four years. There are at least 598 elected representatives, of whom half are directly elected (Erststimme) and half taken from the parties' Landeslisten (Zweitstimme). The Bundestag passes Federal laws, elects the Bundeskanzler, exercises parliamentary control over the Federal government and sets the Federal budget. Although the General Assembly is its public face, the Bundestag carries out most of its work in committees, whose composition reflects that of the Bundestag. At the Land level there is usually a similar body, the Landtag.

10 ERSTSTIMME/ZWEITSTIMME
For elections to the German Bundestag a mixed system of voting operates. Each voter has two votes. The Erststimme is used to directly elect a representative in each of the 299 constituencies and this accounts for half of the available seats. The Zweitstimme is cast for the Landesliste of a party. The number of party candidates sent to the Bundestag is in proportion to the result of the poll. The Erststimme and the Zweitstimme are cast separately. See: → Bundestag -

Schweiz: Chancellor of the Confederation* * *der BundeskanzlerFederal Chancellor* * *The Bundeskanzler of the Federal Republic of Germany is the head of government. In 2005 Angela Merkel became the first BundeskanzlerinThe Chancellor is responsible for the government's general policy and by means of recommendations to the Bundespräsident appoints and dismisses ministers. The Bundeskanzler is generally elected for a period of four years (corresponding to the four-year Bundestag mandate) by a majority of members of parliament and on the recommendation of the Bundespräsident.In Austria, too, the Bundeskanzler is the head of government, appointed by the Bundespräsident. The Chancellor has no legal responsibility for general policy, but nominates ministers and thereby determines the composition of the government. In Switzerland, on the other hand, the Bundeskanzler is the head of the Federal Chancellery, a department of the Bundesversammlung and the Bundesrat. The responsibilities of the office include the organization of Federal elections and ballots and the publication of Federal laws.

17 Bundesrat
m1. BRD und Österreich: Bundesrat, Upper House (of the German / Austrian Parliament)2. Schweiz: Bundesrat, Executive Federal Council3. Österreich, Schweiz: (Person) member of the Bundesrat* * *The Bundesrat is the second chamber of the Federal Republic of Germany, representing the Länder. It has 69 members, who are not elected but delegated by the 16 Land governments. The most important of the Bundesrat's duties concerns legislation: Federal laws that impinge upon the responsibilities of the Länder require its approval. The Bundesrat may also object to other laws, although the Bundestag can overrule the objection. As a result, Federal policy can be influenced by parties who are in opposition in the Bundestag if these parties hold a majority in most of the Land parliaments. In Austria the Bundesrat has 63 members. Apart from being able to introduce its own proposals for legislation, the Bundesrat has certain rights of veto and approval with regard to laws passed by the Nationalrat. In Switzerland, however, the Bundesrat is the executive body, i.e. the government. The Bundesversammlung appoints seven Bundesräte (ministers), who must come from different cantons, for a period of four years. Each of these ministers is then placed in charge of a Departement.

f; nur Sg.; MIL. (German) armed forces Pl.* * *die Bundeswehr(Deutschland) German armed forces* * *The Bundeswehr is the name for the German armed forces. It came into being in 1955, originally as a volunteer army. Since 1956, however, every male between the ages of 18 and 30 has been liable for Wehrdienst (military service), or a non-military alternative. Currently the Bundeswehr is composed of men performing their military service, soldiers serving voluntarily for a set period of between 2 and 15 years, and professional soldiers. Women are not liable for military service but since 2001 have been able to join the forces as volunteers.

It passes judgement on constitutional complaints and has the power to order a party's dissolution if it is unconstitutional and possibly poses a threat to democracy. The Federal Government has to accept the judges' ruling, however controversial the case may be. The Bundesverfassungsgericht consists of two panels, each with eight judges who are elected for a single twelve-year term. Half of the panel is elected by the Bundestag and half by the Bundesrat.This is the name for the German armed forces, which come under the control of the defence minister. The Bundeswehr consists of professional soldiers and conscripts serving their Wehrdienst.

19 Grundgesetz
n1. basic law* * *das Grundgesetzbasic law* * *The "Grundgesetz of the Federal Republic of Germany" is the German Constitution, which came into force in 1949. It was actually intended as a temporary measure until Germany could be re-united, but upon re-unification in 1990 the Grundgesetz was retained, since it enjoyed a high level of trust. For changes to be made to the Grundgesetz a two-thirds majority is needed both in the Bundestag and in the Bundesrat. If citizens consider that their basic rights, as laid down in the Grundgesetz, have been violated by the state authorities, they can ask for independent arbitration from the Bundesverfassungsgericht, which is binding on all parties.
