20 Euro Germany 2024 Ag UNC - Grundgesetz

The Basic Law (Grundgesetz) is the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany, adopted on May 23, 1949. It guarantees inalienable fundamental rights such as human dignity, freedom of expression, and freedom of religion. Germany is a federal state, with powers divided between the federal government and the Länder (states), and a rule-of-law state where the government is bound by law and the separation of powers. Parliamentary democracy is central to the system, with the Bundestag elected by the people. Additionally, an "eternity clause" protects certain core principles from any constitutional amendment.
