Overview
As most European nations, the modern German states have a multi-party system with a parliament.There is a two-chamber system in Prussia, Bavaria and Westphalia. This is due to the federalized nature of the German states. The Allies have implemented a so called "Fortified Democracy", meaning that certain parts of the constitutions like human rights, the freedom of speech, free elections and the dignity of a person are part of the constitution (or the "Basic Law" in the case of Prussia, which is modeled after the Westphalian constitution of 1949, but can be replaced with a real constitution if needed), and forces who seek to remove these articles from the constitution can be observed by the police and, if needed, can be banned. Thus, it is extremely difficult for radical parties to gain seats in parliamentairy elections.
