Providing human rights, democratic values, republicanism, social responsibility, and federalism, the Grundgesetz created a stable political order that enabled the republic to thrive.

Nevertheless, the Grundgesetz has stood the test of time thanks to a wealth of amendments that have prevented it from petrifying.
