Since the first unification of Germany in 1871, any number of political parties have attracted support by advocating policies and platforms opposed to the state structure in existence at the time. The Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, essentially the constitution of the Germany we know today, even prescribes a judicial process to ban political parties opposed to the “basic democratic order.” This course will look at five examples of parties opposed to the political order of their day.
