Abstract

As the debate on a possible new second leg- islative chamber proceeds both in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Canada, it is useful to note recent amendments to the German Con- stitution (Basic Law) affecting the federal up- per house of Parliament ( Bundesrat ). Despite all the differences among the House of Lords, the Canadian Senate, 1 and the Bundesrat , there are some points on which a comparison is use- ful. Moreover, some of the impetus behind the German reforms — a conviction that there had been too much emphasis on cooperative feder- alism and too little on healthy competition — is reminiscent of debates about such matters in other federations in general, and Canada in particular.
德国上院改革:联邦制度现代化委员会
在英国和加拿大就是否可能建立新的第二立法院进行辩论之际,有必要注意到最近对德国宪法(基本法)的修订影响了联邦议会(联邦参议院)。尽管上议院、加拿大参议院、1和联邦参议院之间存在种种差异,但在某些方面进行比较是有用的。此外,德国改革背后的一些动力——一种信念,即过于强调合作性联邦制,而对健康竞争的重视过少——让人想起其他联邦(尤其是加拿大)对此类问题的辩论。
