According to Germany's constitution the political system of the German Democratic Republic is structured as a socialist democratic republic, where power is derived from the people. The GDR according to its constitution aims to establish a just and egalitarian society, with collective ownership of the means of production and a focus on the welfare of all citizens. It presents itself as an indivisible Republic that encompasses all German people, with an emphasis on preserving and protecting its unity and territorial integrity.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
The Staatsrat serves as the collective head of state and is the executive authority of the German Democratic Republic. Comprised of a minimum of three members, the Staatsrat is elected by the Volkskammer for a four-week term. It oversees the administration and leadership of the Armed Forces, grants amnesty and pardons, ratifies international treaties, represents the GDR domestically and internationally and executes all laws. The Staatsrat has the authority to delegate powers to other entities while retaining the ability to reclaim them.
===Political
The German Democratic Republic has 2 political parties, the [[Socialist Unity Party]] and the [[Liberal-Democratic Party of Germany]]. Both of these are allied in the National Front and represent socialist views.
==== Socialist Unity Party ====
The Socialist Unity Party is marxist-leninist. It is currently the only party represented in the Staatsrat and the Volkskammer.
==== Liberal-Democratic Party of Germany ====
The Liberal-Democrats support liberal socialism but still support the government. Some have claimed the Liberal-Democrats are a puppet of the government due to their membership of the National Front and their support of the government.
===Criticism===
Critics of the GDR have referred to it as a [[Skulli Republic]] and claimed it was dictatorial due to the lack of opposition in the country.
