This volume constitutes a fundamental work in the constitutional history of modern Germany and is of obvious interest, not only to legal historians but to all who are interested in the political and social history of postwar GermanyThere thus emerges from the pages of the book the portrait of an entire epoch of German history, the principal lines of which have been drawn from the decisions of the Court, which from its inception has guided and defined the democratic growth of the country.
