Learning from the Weimar experience, the founding fathers of theFederal Republic eliminated the chance of a renewed institutionalizedconflict between the head of state and the federal governmentthrough the creation of the Basic Law [Grundgesetz ]. They primarilystrengthened the power of the chancellor and his cabinet by introducingthe "constructive" vote of no confidence and abolishing theprinciple of individual ministerial responsibility, while also reducingthe position of the federal president to a mere representative head ofstate. With these clear-cut constitutional arrangements it is not surprisingthat Germany has not been among the number of west Europeandemocracies (such as Italy or Austria) for which issuesregarding the power of heads of state have occupied a rather prominentposition on the political agenda of the 1990s
