{"product_id":"the-constitution-of-the-federal-republic-of-germany","title":"The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany","description":"A leading scholar of the constitution of the United States  David Currie  in this book turns his attention to one of the most important bodies of constitutional law in the world  the Basic Law of Germany. It is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the study of the German constitution.  Beginning with an overview of the essential features of the Basic Law of Germany  Currie then elucidates those features by analyzing a number of decisions of the German Constitutional Court. Contrasting German constitutional law with the American model  Currie further illuminates the German system and provides an invaluable comparative perspective on American institutions  judicial methods  and constitutional principles.  The German constitutional court recently has become the object of international attention as it has grappled with controversies involving abortion  ratification of the Maastricht Treaty  and the reunification of East and West. Currie examines these issues and their impact on the German constitution.  An appendix includes (in English translation) the complete Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany of May 23  1949 as amended to December 1  1993.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44923678490677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226131130","price":226.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0226131130.jpg?v=1768648781","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-constitution-of-the-federal-republic-of-germany","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
