The Party for a Rule of Law Offensive,Rule of Law State Offensive Party,Party for the Promotion of the Rule of Law,Law and Order Offensive Party,or Party of Law and Order Offensive,commonly known as the "Schill party" from 2000 to 2003,was a minor right-wing populist party in Germany,mainly active in the state of Hamburg,that ran on a platform of law and order. It was founded in July 2000 by the judge Ronald Schill and was temporarily very successful in Hamburg,winning 19.4% of the votes in the 2001 state election and joining a coalition government. After the centre-right coalition collapsed and Schill left the party in 2003,it quickly lost support. Attempts to expand to other states or the federal level were unsuccessful. It may therefore be considered a "flash party" or protest party.

The government of Hamburg is divided into executive,legislative and judicial branches. Hamburg is a city-state and municipality,and thus its governance deals with several details of both state and local community politics. It takes place in two ranks –a citywide and state administration,and a local rank for the boroughs. The head of the city-state's government is the First Mayor and President of the Senate. A ministry is called Behörde (office) and a state minister is a Senator in Hamburg. The legislature is the state parliament,called Hamburgische Bürgerschaft,and the judicial branch is composed of the state supreme court and other courts. The seat of the government is Hamburg Rathaus. The President of the Hamburg Parliament is the highest official person of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. This is a traditional difference to the other German states. The president is not allowed to exert any occupation of the executive.
The Hamburg Parliament is the unicameral legislature of the German state of Hamburg according to the constitution of Hamburg.
