Explanation
Germany's constitution is officially called the Grundgesetz (Basic Law). It was adopted in 1949 and serves as the foundational legal framework of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Tips
- Look for the historically established term used since 1949 rather than generic words like "constitution" or "law book."
- Eliminate options that sound like translations or general legal terms not used officially in Germany.
- Recall that Germany's foundational text emphasizes basic rights and the federal structure; the official name reflects this special status.
- If unsure, favor specific, well-known institutional names over broad legal terminology.
