Germany has existed as a democratic republic for over 60 years. The country is considered a democratic and social federalist state according to the nation’s constitution. The country’s stability is guaranteed because of the separation of powers (between the legislature, executive and judiciary) and a multiparty system of politics, which are enshrined in the country’s constitution.

Germany has existed as a democratic republic for over 60 years. The country is considered a democratic and social federalist state according to the nation’s constitution. The country’s stability is guaranteed because of the separation of powers (between the legislature, executive and judiciary) and a multiparty system of politics, which are enshrined in the country’s constitution. Germany also has experience of political, social and economic turmoil, and the country has been able to draw lessons and apply policies that would prevent a return to past conditions.

The state authority is also dedicated to the protection of the citizens’ human rights and freedoms. Some of the rights and freedoms include the freedom of opinion, freedom of the press, freedom of information, equality before the law and the freedom of association. The state does not operate unrestricted and is held accountable to judicial controls as established under the country’s constitution. Germany also takes care of her citizens by ensuring essential services are provided, to guarantee a decent standard of living among the population.

A stable democratic polity would not exist without a strong economy. Inflation during the Weimar Republic made Hitler’s policies appealing regardless of the imminent threat to democracy presented by his regime. After the destruction under Hitler’s authority, Germany embarked on strengthening her economy and building a strong central bank to what it is today and, as noted by Jaques Delors, “not all Germans believe in God but they all believe in the Bundesbank.” The push for a strong economy was in line with the country’s shift to foster a stability culture.

Germany’s past experience, its regard for human rights and the rule of law, and the strengthening of the nation’s economy attest to its ability to remain stable. The stability established is essential in ensuring that the nation’s environment is not compatible with an authoritarian regime.
