The reading compared legislative oversight across countries by focusing on Germany’s Federal Republic. It explained that Germany has a bicameral legislature: the Bundestag, elected by voters, and the Bundesrat, representing state (Länder) governments. The text stated that oversight includes questioning ministers, conducting committee investigations, and using budget authority to monitor executive priorities. It added that Germany’s executive is closely tied to the legislature because the Bundestag selects the Chancellor, creating incentives for coalition cooperation (Benz, 2019).
