	Is the German Federal Republic Legitimate?
		In a recent essay http://www.rense.com/general69/excc.htm Michael James contends that the Federal Republic of Germany (BRD) is illegal and illegitimate.
		The argument that the German Federal Republic is illegitimate has about as much validity as the argument that the US Constitution is not valid because the convention that wrote it had no legal mandate to do so, and because the constitution improperly replaced the Articles of Confederation.
		The German Federal Republic is at least as legitimate as the regime established in the aftermath of the First World War.

	How the West Was Won (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The constitution of the Federal Republic from 1949 (The Basic Law) was set up to end as a means of ending the historical Sonderweg and setting Germany on a new course of co-operation with her neighbours.
		Whilst the Basic Law was to be a break with the past, the new Federal Republic claimed to be the bearer of the pre-war German heritage and its claim of continuity was essentially the raison d’ état it’s existence.
		The Sonderweg of the Federal Republic’s external relations was to pursue the policy of westbindung to facilitate a role as a “subject rather than merely an object of superpower policy”[41] by exercising sovereignty the only way it could via multilateral institutions and an integrationist approach.
