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.
Bundesrat of Germany was created in 1949.
