Dear Sir,

I am a teacher at an English school and we are currently studying a topic on constitutions. We would very much like to have a clear and English guide to the German Constitution and the principles on which it is based. Would it be possible for you to help me with this? Many thanks

Angela J.

There is a wide range of information about Germany in general and on the constitution from the server of Germany's U.S Embassy at: http://www.germany-info.org/facts/frame.htm

Also from the German Government's server at: http://www.government.de/ausland/index_e.html

A guide to the history of the constitution and its principles which would seem to fit your specific needs can be found at: http://www.bundesregierung.de/.bin/lay/ausland/system/basic_law.html

I hope this will be of assistance to your work.
