Description

Marking the 200th anniversary of the US Constitution and the 40th year of the West German "Grundgesetz" this book examines the lawmaking bodies of the two countries and their constitutional duties and limitations. This first ever joint US-German parliamentary study compares and contrasts two of the democratic West's most powerful legislatures. The result is a new perspective on the foundations of Western democracy and a useful contribution to German-US understanding.
