What is the difference between Bundestag and Bundesrat?

The Bundestag is the German parliament and is located in Berlin. Here sit the parliamentarians elected by the eligible voters. The Bundesrat is the second chamber of parliament, also part of the legislative branch. Through it, the federal states participate in legislation and administration and represent their interests. The Bundesrat therefore refers to itself as the "parliament of the state governments". Learn more about what the two chambers of parliament do in the video.
