Between Law and Interpretation

German law is characterized by its mechanistic nature, relying heavily on strict interpretations without much room for nuances. However, the concept of 'Umvega' suggests that within the rigid structure of the law, there exists potential for interpretation that aligns with the intended outcomes of legal provisions. The interest from Germany in the United States stems from its perceived leadership in constitutional democracy, despite the contradictions of laws such as the 14th Amendment coexisting with legal segregation and anti-miscegenation laws. This reflects a desire for Germany to be respected globally and recognized as a guiding nation in legal and democratic principles.
