The Bundestag and the Bundesrat.
The Federal Republic of Germany is a federal multi-party republic with 2 houses of legislature: The Bundestag and the Bundesrat.
The Bundestag is the lower house of the German Federal Parliament, while the Bundesrat is the upper house. The Bundesrat represents the sixteen federal states of Germany and plays a role in the legislative process by representing state interests.
The Bundesrat is the federal council of Germany, representing the 16 federal states (Länder) at the national level. It plays a crucial role in the legislative process, as it must approve laws that affect state interests. Each state sends representatives to the Bundesrat, and the council's decisions are made by majority vote. The Bundesrat also has a say in certain administrative and policy matters, contributing to the balance of power between federal and state governments.

In Germany, laws are made by the Bundestag, which is the federal parliament, and must also be approved by the Bundesrat, which represents the federal states (Länder). The process typically involves the drafting of a bill, discussions, and voting in both chambers. Once both the Bundestag and Bundesrat approve a bill, it is signed into law by the Federal President. This legislative process ensures that laws reflect both federal and state interests.
