- Authors
Uppendahl, Herbert
- Abstract
The article discusses the deficiencies of the ombudsman of Rheinland-Pfalz, one of the West German federal units. Rheinland-Pfalz was established by law on May 1974. The Prime Minister's main reasons for this project is to present himself to the public that he is an open-minded and possesses a progressive personality ready to go in for constitutional change. But the Prime Minister failed to gain support from the Social Democrats and the Liberals. Instead of introducing and carrying bill that will establish the new office under the support of the petitions committee of the Rheinland-Pfalz parliament, the Christian Democrats instead, forced to give up their ideas on creating a new office by amending the provincial constitution.
