    This is the pinned comment I talked about in the disclaimer which will house all the corrections I will probably need to make to this video, so here they are: 0:34 - Obvious typo, meant to say "Bundesrepublik" not "Bundlesrepublik" 3:38 - Every *four* years a federal election is run. State elections (at least in most states) are every five years

    The video was overall quite good, but you could have focussed a bit more on the Bundesrat, because it actually plays a very important role. F. ex. the Bundesrat could block every law the Bundestag passed. The Bundesrat is more the representation of the Bundesländer and every prime minister of the Bundesländer sits actually in the Bundesrat ( or sends someone else to represent him and the Bundesland :) ). Then they also have a pretty cool voting system in the Bundesrat. Oh and I am not very sure if you can compare the Bundesrat to your house thing in America. But overall great video😀👍 But to be honest most of the germans don't even know what the Bundesrat is doing and where he sits. 🙂😃 Yeah and then the Bundesländer. Very important they have big powers not only in the Bundesrat. They can pass there own law, which only counts in the Land. For example in one country (Hessen) there is still the death penalty, but because the law of the federal government is more important then the state law, the law is not used. They kind of forgot to take it out of the constitution of one Bundesland 😃😂

    Some interesting facts: 1.) Schleswig Holstein is the only state with an exeption for the 5% rule. The party of the danish minority has guarateed seats. 2.) States have the right to reunite with another state if the population agrees in a referendum. It happened yet two times. But a seperation is prohibited. Frankonia tried the secession of Bavaria and Oldenburg from Niedersachsen. 3.) After 378 years of seperation the allies formed again one Hesse (Hesse-Nassau + People's State Hesse). But the terretorries right of the Rhein were used to form the state Rheinland-Palatinate. The city of Mainz lost some of there quarters like Mainz-Kastel. But they still plan to reunite one day. As a consequence both don't name their streets equal. In case that they'll form again one city.

    1) is wrong. Technically, this exception accounts for all states. It's not about the state. It's about the party. The SSW (Süd-Schleswigscher Wählerbund) has been recognized as an ethnic minority party, that's why they benefit from this exception. If you were to found a party in any of the other states, and you managed to fulfill the requirements for parties to be recognized as representing a certain ethnical minority, you'd benefit from the same rule regardless of the state you're in. However, that doesn't mean that you're guaranteed any seats. You'd still have to receive as many votes as are necessary to gain at least one seat. The SSW has managed to do so consistently, others haven't. And honestly, the requirements to be recognized aren't that simple to fulfill.

    There are 3 parties in Germany that are exempted from the 5% rule (the 3 Parties are the Südschleswigscher Wählerverband(SSW), Die Friesen, Lausitzer Allianz), but the right to be exempt from the “Fünf-Prozent-Klausel” is given to every party representing a “Nationale Minderheit” in Germany. How you get to be acknowledged as representing one of these groups is a completely different and complicated matter. And there is a second rule that let`s a party ignore the 5%-rule. If a party gets at least 3 seats through the first vote, it ignores the 5% rule. (May one day become important if the CSU doesn't get 5% of votes nationally)

    It's a bit more complicated actually. The 5% rule isn't actually for getting seats at all, but rather for getting additional seats if the seats assigned by first votes turn out to be a smaller proportion of the total number of seats than your proportion of second votes. If you have gained a seat by first votes alone, you do get to keep it therefore, you don't have to give it back just because you haven't earned 5% of the seats yet. Also, if you gain 2 seats by first votes you also get the opportunity to take additional seats, if I remember correctly. Finally, it's a silly rule that should be abolished because it essentially gives Germany a 20-seat parliament that they pretend to have more seats by splitting seats and giving out fractional seats. The threshold should be 1 seat, whatever that happens to be, no more, no less, adjust the number of seats accordingly, do not set the threshold independently.

    It's actually not that complicated. The first vote is for voting the representative of your constituency, the second vote for how many seats a party shoud get in the Bundestag in total. Any candidate who wins the most first votes of their constituency is guaranteed a seat in the Bundestag (first-past-the-post system). The second votes of all voters in Germany are added up to a popular vote and the 660 regular seats of the Bundestag are split between the parties accordingly (proportional vote system), but votes for any party that did not get at least 5% of the second votes are not considered (at first). There are 330 constituencies in Germany. So those 330 directly elected representatives will start filling the seats of the party that they ran for. If there are still free seats left for the party, the party gets to fill those with members from a ranked list of candidates. If there are more directly elected representatives than the party received seats, additional seats are added to the Bundestag so that it becomes mathematically possible for every party to have their directly elected representatives fill all their assigned seats. If a party manages to gain at least three seats through directly elected representatives, the 5% threshold rule is not applied for them, and they will get all their seats from the second votes as normal (even if they are less than the 33 seats that make up 5%). The 5% rule is also not applied to any party that represents certain ethnical minorities (currently only one in Schleswig Holstein's state parliament representing he Danish minority in that state). And it's not a silly rule. It was established after bad experiences with the Weimar republic's Reichstag where the German parliament had so many fringe parties that the governments had to be formed by extremely fractured and instable coalitions that spent more time with internal fighting then getting actual governing done.

His electoral term ends with the assembly of a new Bundestag. The new election will take place at the earliest forty-six and at the latest forty-eight months after the beginning of the electoral term. If the Bundestag is dissolved, new elections will take place within sixty days. (2) The Bundestag shall meet no later than the thirtieth day after the election. (3) The Bundestag determines the end and the restart of its sessions. The President of the Bundestag can convene it earlier. He is obliged to do so if a third of the members, the Federal President or the Federal Chancellor so request.

For example, in my country, as stated in the Federal Constitution, only the federal government can legislate matters such as in monetary system, defence, airlines, health, treaty etc know as the Federal List & states have their own limitation to legislate such as on water, public sanitation, land etc known as State List. .. If matters does not fall under the Federal and State list, the Federal and State government must discuss and coordinate to solve the issue eg wild life...How about in Germany on this matter?

    Yes, the German Constitution defines which authority the states have and which the federal gouvernment. In some cases the states have a veto and in other they have not, depending of the nature of the matter. If the federal gouvernment regulates a matter that have direct impact on the states (defined in the constitution), the Bundesrat could veto the law and there is a special committee of Bundesrat and Bundestag to sort things out and seek for compromises if this happens.

    If someone is now confused why we have such a complicated government, it's mainly because of 2 reasons. 1: To prevent a repeat of the errors, made by the 'Weimarer Republik' which led to the takeover of Hitler. With the actual system it's impossible that someone combines all powers to one single person. 2: Germany is a buildup of hundreds of ethnic and cultural groups (Watch the Map at 1:28) that's why the powers are staggered from a National to a local level, so every cultural faction is able to have a own voice. BTW: Good pronunciation of the German words.
