Summary
The paper discusses the constitutional limits of accelerated lawmaking in Germany. It suggests a model that balances the right of parliamentary majorities to speed up legislation with procedural safeguards for participatory rights and democratic transparency. This model is intended to keep legislative processes both effective and legitimate, even under time pressure and in times of crises.
