Constitution of Hesse

Participants of the advisory state committee (German: beratender Landesausschuss) February 26 - July 14, 1946 [1] were, among others, Walter Fisch and Eleonore Wolf.

On June 30, 1946 elections were held for the state constitutional convention (Ger: verfassungsberatende Landesversammlung).

Other points of constitutional importance were recognition of the dignity and humanity of people; in the economic sphere, this included the right to work, the eight-hour workday, minimum 12 days of vacation, the right to strike, as well as a uniform industrial law for workers, employees and officials in which lockout is prohibited.

Article 21 was changed in 2018 and its content replaced with The Death penalty is abolished so that it mirrors the Federal Constitution.

[3] Before that, Article 21 was no longer in effect due to the abolishment of the death penalty at the level of the Federal constitution.
