In the article ‘German Governments as wells as German Judiciary Ignores Germany’s Basic Law’, I quoted Art. 20 (2) from Germany’s Basic Law (Grundgesetz) and added a DeepL translation to the quotation. Please read it again! You’ll find that it mandates elections and referendums. Both in plural! The German people however elect on federal level only the members of the parliament. That’s all. So why does Germany’s Basic Law (Grundgesetz) mandate elections in plural? Is it because the election of the parliament should take place periodically? Maybe. But I believe that whoever wrote this piece of the Grundgesetz had the elections of attorneys, judges, and sheriffs in the USA as a role model in mind. Even in Russia since the reign of Tsar Alexander I got attorneys, judges, and police chiefs elected. I think that it is quite unlikely that a constitution substitute, which was written in the 1940s, would on intention be less democratic. But nobody in Germany did ever suggest to elect attorneys or judges or any position in law enforcement.
