The five new German Länder enjoy constitutional autonomy under the Basic Law, and since unification all of the new Länder have used this autonomy in adopting their own constitutions. Compared to the Basic Law and also to most of the constitutions of the old Länder, the new documents contain a number of significant innovations, concerning the parliamentary form of government, plebescites, basic rights, and social rights and state objectives. Many of these innovations seem, however, problematic; with some significant exceptions, they provide little positive inspiration for a reform of the Basic Law
