Abstract

In federal States there are different principles and institutes whose purpose is none other than to maintain the validity and stability of the territorial pact. These not only seek to strengthen the loyalty between all parties to the federal relationship, but also to limit possible conduct that is contrary to the unity of any of them. In the Federal Republic of Germany, among the various tools provided by the Basic Law for this goal, federal coercion occupies a prominent place. This article aims to make a study of this constitutional institute, focusing not only on its current regulations (art. 37 LFB) but also on its precedents, which will serve to establish the existence of a specific constitutional tradition in this regard.
