A Verfassungsgericht, or constitutional court, is a specialized judicial body responsible for ensuring that laws and government actions comply with a country's constitution. It interprets constitutional provisions and resolves disputes regarding their application, safeguarding fundamental rights and democratic principles. In many countries, the Verfassungsgericht has the authority to review legislation, assess the constitutionality of laws, and protect citizens' rights. Its decisions can lead to the annulment of laws that violate the constitution, thereby maintaining the rule of law and promoting justice within the legal system.
