Rule of law: the basic law takes a number of ideas from the weimar. Republic that are good and adds safety measures to them. A state bureaucracy is important and instates values. Political society that is based on moderate, consensual, and based on debates. No longer dealing with communist party and nazi party. There was the christian democratic party and the social democratic party and relatively saw eye to eye on stuff. Market economy, post world war 2 has a skyrocket in economy. A civil society is then developed and is democratic. Voters in a single member plurality election cast a vote for one candidate.
