Explanation
The Federal President is not elected directly by the people but by the Federal Assembly, which consists of members of the Bundestag and representatives of the states. This reflects the principle of representative democracy, where certain offices are filled by elected representatives rather than through direct popular vote. This arrangement ensures that the head of state takes on a non-partisan role and represents the unity of the country.
