The Cabinet
The cabinet is made up of the Prime Minister and the State Ministers. Together, they form the state government, whereby the Prime Minister decides on fundamental state policy. The State Ministers carry autonomous responsibility for their own departments within these policy guidelines. They can initiate change of policy. The Prime Minister may appoint State Secretaries as additional members of the state government.
The cabinet ratifies draft legislation and any drafts to the Landtag, as well as legal ordinances of the state government. Additional important topics, which the state government deals with a committee, are initiatives of the German Federal Council, voting in the German Federal Council, treaties and administrative agreements with foreign countries. Furthermore, the cabinet decides on any issues or questions of fundamental importance to Saxony, including constitutional or legal questions.
