Summary
The foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany saw the formation of a new constitution although a general right of resistance has only been contained in it since 1968. What were the reasons for this subsequently-made change? The central hypothesis is that after 1945, resistance and legal disobedience were no longer seen as just being a threat to public order and peace under the law, but also came to be regarded as an opportunity and a political imperative.
