The article provides the reader with a general historical account of the ideology involved in the constitutional‐building process in the Federal Republic of Germany and the more immediate background to the drafting of the Basic Law in 1949. In so doing, it focuses on the roles of individuals in this process, that is on the political ideologies held by political actors such as Konrad Adenauer, Carlo Schmid, Walter Menzel, Anton Pfeiffer, Henrich von Brentano, Walter Strauss, Adolf Süsterhenn, Theodor Heuss and Thomas Dehler. It evaluates them in the light of the currents of political thought from which their debates drew, and analyses aspects of the Basic Law in detail with the aim of exploring its ideological roots
