The Constitutional Court of Germany, known as the Bundesverfassungsgericht, is the highest court responsible for upholding the Basic Law of Germany. Established in 1951, it ensures that laws and government actions comply with the constitution, protecting fundamental rights and maintaining the rule of law. Located in Karlsruhe, the court has the authority to review legislation, adjudicate disputes between federal and state authorities, and hear cases involving constitutional complaints from individuals. Its decisions are binding and play a crucial role in shaping German law and democracy.
