议会制是西方民主的传统,但德国的现代议会制度直到魏玛共和国时期才得到初步建立。当今德国的议会制度与魏玛共和国时期的议会制度虽一脉相承,却在很大程度上吸取了其失败的经验教训。两者的关系主要体现在以下几个方面:两院制及其组成,议会与政党关系,议会与总统关系。 Parliamentary system is a tradition of Western democracy, but Germany’s modern parliamentary system was not initially established until the Weimar Republic. Although the parliamentary system in Germany today goes hand in hand with the parliamentary system in the Weimar Republic, it largely absorbs the lessons learned from its failure. The relationship between the two is mainly reflected in the following aspects: the bicameral system and its composition, the relationship between the parliament and the political parties, the relationship between the parliament and the president.
