Reply #191: It's not. They use the (mistaken) Continental system

[Leopolds Ghost]

Which Napoleon, the enemy of the French democratic experiment, and his Prussian successors, creators of the German war machine, instituted.

Under the Continental system, the state, and the judges appointed by the state, and the legislature are sovereign and can do whatever they want. That's why Hitler was able to come to power. There were no "irrational" constitutional checks on his authority to DEPRIVE other Germans of their free speech, etc.
