Die Grundrechte des Grundgesetzes können von verschiedenen Staatsorganen unterschiedlich, jedoch gleichermaßen vertretbar ausgelegt werden. Lisa Rabeneick vertritt die Auffassung, dass das Bundesverfassungsgericht zuweilen 'Weak-Form Judicial Review' ausüben und davon absehen sollte, seine Grundrechtsauslegung an die Stelle derer des Parlaments zu setzen, wenn dessen Verständnis gleichermaßen plausibel ist.
Weak-form judicial review suggests that empowering courts to exercise rights-based judicial review does not necessarily mean that courts can assert their understanding of guaranteed rights or, where they do - as in Germany - that they always should. Instead, they could be constitutionally required to defer, at times, to another state organ's reasonable rights interpretation. Lisa Rabeneick examines this particular aspect of the broader question of how the German Federal Constitutional Court should exercise its powers of strong-form rights-based judicial review in relation to the Federal Parliament. Specifically, she proposes creating a 'blended system' of reviewing legislation under the Basic Law; to be achieved by the court implementing weak-form review in instances in which it should refrain from asserting its rights understanding in relation to the legislature.
