When does a trial take place in court in Germany? When someone...
- A converts to another religion.
- B has committed a crime and is charged. ✓ Correct answer
- C holds a different opinion than that of the government.
- D has parked their car incorrectly and it is towed away.
Explanation
A court trial in Germany happens when someone is formally charged with a criminal offense, since trials decide guilt or innocence under criminal law. Changing religion or holding a different opinion are protected freedoms, and parking violations are usually handled without a trial.
Tips
- A trial follows a criminal charge, protected freedoms and minor administrative offenses do not lead to court on their own.
