- A Judiciary ✓ Correct answer
- B Executive
- C Press
- D Legislature
Explanation
Germany follows the separation of powers: legislature (makes laws), executive (implements/enforces laws), and judiciary (interprets/applies laws). Judges are part of the judiciary, working in courts to apply the law independently.
Tips
- Map roles to branches: courts/judges → interprets/applies law; parliaments/members → make laws; government/administration/police → enforce laws.
- Eliminate distractors that are not a state power (e.g., media).
- Look for keywords: "Richter(in)" or "Gericht" signals the court system.
- Remember constitutional principles: judicial independence and separation of powers help identify which branch a role belongs to.
