What is in this deck
With this deck you learn 42 terms of German politics: constitutional bodies, electoral law and legislation, asked both ways.
Bundestag and Bundesrat, first vote and second vote, consent bills and objection bills: anyone who follows the news knows the words. Being asked to explain them shows how loosely.
42 terms in both directions, from the word to the explanation and back. Plus six cards for the figures behind them: seats, votes, deadlines, majorities.
Each card also names the article of the Basic Law, the year, or the point where practice parts company with the rule.
The names of the bodies appear as each language uses them.
The categories decide what comes up: start with “Constitutional bodies” alone and add the rest when you are ready.
What you learn
- The constitutional bodies and what they do
- The voting system, first and second vote
- How a law comes about

Learning with Qardbox
You see a card, you think, you turn it over and say whether you knew it. A round asks nothing more of you, and how the app works out the next date from that is on the page about FSRS-6.
What sits comes back less often, what wobbles comes back soon. You set a daily goal, and when nothing is due the app tells you exactly that instead of inventing work for you. How a round goes is shown on the learning page.
Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ads. After the purchase the deck sits in your library like any other subject and can be studied, reordered and extended just like your own.
What it costs, and what it doesn’t
Qardbox itself costs nothing, and it stays that way. Every function is there from the start, with no subscription, no ads and no tiers; what that rests on is on the page about what it costs.
Your own cards stay unlimited, and decks from friends or from the family you read in without a limit, from a file as well. You do not need this deck in order to learn with Qardbox.
It is a shortcut: 90 checked cards for €0.99, once, with Family Sharing. The work you would otherwise do is already done. The App Store shows the price in your currency.
