Parlament erklärt: Was ist die österreichische Bundesverfassung?

A constitution regulates how a state is structured and how its organs may act – and it safeguards the fundamental rights of the people living within it. This video explains the principles on which the constitution is based – such as the rule of law and the democratic principle. It also explains when a complete amendment to the Federal Constitution can occur and who must approve such an amendment. There are important reasons why human rights are also part of the Austrian Constitution – watch the video to learn more. Note: Austria has been a member of the Council of Europe since 1956, not since 1955 as stated in the video.
