The Bremen Constitution is the fundamental law governing the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, a city-state in Germany. Established in 1947, it outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of democracy within Bremen. The constitution emphasizes the importance of local self-governance and the rule of law. The Bremen Constitution is significant for its role in ensuring political stability and protecting civil liberties. It establishes a parliamentary system, with a Senate and a Bürgerschaft (citizens' assembly) responsible for legislative functions. This framework allows Bremen to maintain its unique identity while being part of the larger German federation.
