2 chambers · 5 powers · 1 amendment

An Act to balance the powers and duties of the three branches of government, to recalibrate the length of parliamentary terms to both houses of Parliament, and to affirm the rights and liberties that all Rhenish residents hold; and for related matters.

5 powers

At present, the division of powers between government agencies is severely imbalanced; despite being the Head of Government (and Head of State de facto - in other words, a fused executive), the Federal Chancellor (Bundeskanzler) holds no actual or even symbolic power. This in effect renders the post useless - one with name and fame, but with no substance to back it up; and creates a serious imbalance within cabinets, thereby making it more attractive for coalition partners to strive for their own goals, and less likely to be those in the public or coalition government's benefit. At the same time, the Bundesrat (the upper house of Parliament) holds no power, when compared to the Bundestag in its ability to serve as the chamber of confidence and legislation, and to declare wars and martial law; despite the ideas of popular sovereignty and dominance of the lower house being constitutionally enshrined, it would also be beneficial for the upper house to have some say in the operations of government, akin to the systems of other countries in-game and in reality. In comparison, most roles and duties that should be executed by the government are held by non-partisan bureaucrats; despite ensuring political stability and neutrality, this also makes the formation of governments and cabinets pointless. It also renders governments unable to effectively react to national/international emergencies and affairs. As such, this reform package aims to recalibrate and balance the powers between the three branches of government (executive, legislative, judiciary), the governmental cabinet, and the civil service, with the following changes:

3 powers

Our constitution is almost empty the goverment is just a puppet which is only attend because of the name. We need flexibility and respond to every threat towards our country.

7 powers

These changes would give more flexibility and dispersion of the powers and the works of each department and legislature branch.

3 powers

1. Shifting the power to declare war and martial law from members of the cabinet to the Bundestag ensure that these actions with potentially severe consequences need broad approval to pass rather than being decided by one person, reducing the likelihood of rash action. 2. Entrusting the designation of extremist organizations to non-partisan bureaucrats ensures that this decision is not made on a partisan basis and cannot be abused to illegitimately suppress opposition.

9 powers

This amendment rebalances institutional powers to improve transparency, democratic accountability, and efficient governance. The current constitutional structure concentrates several key powers in ways that reduce oversight and limit adaptability. By redistributing nine specific powers, this reform ensures that decision-making authority aligns more closely with democratic legitimacy and functional responsibility. It strengthens checks and balances, prevents institutional overreach, and modernizes governance to reflect current political realities.

give ministers roles that were previously unassigned

3 powers

1. Declaring war or martial law are crucial decisions that shouldn't depend on one person entirely. Requiring the confirmation of the Bundestag for such actions reduces the risk of rash decisions by a single minister or chancellor, avoiding potentially disastrous consequences. 2. Allowing the Minister of the Interior to designate extremist organizations risks abuse of power for political motives. To prevent potential dictatorship and illegitimate suppression of opposition, this should rather be left to non-partisan professionals.

2 powers

1. Making war declarations dependent on the Bundestag ensures that such a crucial decision can be checked by the entire parliament rather than depending on a single defence minister. 2. Entrusting the designation of extremist organizations to non-partisan professionals independent of the cabinet ensures that such steps are not taken for political reasons by the incumbent government, preventing dictatorship and forceful suppression of opposition.

1 power

This change ensures that a fateful decision like declaring war can be checked by the entire Bundestag rather than relying solely on a defence minister.
