The author recapitulates the arguments in the current debate about the dissolution of parliament according to article 68 of the GG, examines them regarding their constitutional-historical tradition, & contrasts them with the constitutional practice in the Lander. The results show that the constitutional-political goals, which are linked to the vote of confidence & the dissolution of parliament in the federation & the Lader, depend less on the codified standards than on a functioning party system. Potential danger for the parliamentary democracy in Germany therefore lies in the currently observable changes within the party system. Tables, References. Adapted from the source document.
