What were the two house in the German parliament?

The German parliament, known as the Bundestag, consists of two houses: the Bundestag itself and the Bundesrat. The Bundestag is the lower house, made up of representatives elected by the public, while the Bundesrat is the upper house, representing the 16 federal states (Länder) of Germany. The Bundestag is primarily responsible for legislation, while the Bundesrat reviews and can influence laws, particularly those affecting state interests. Together, these two houses play a crucial role in Germany's federal legislative process.
