Explanation
In Germany, judges belong to the judiciary and their role is to adjudicate cases by applying existing laws and delivering judgments. They do not govern the country, draft policy plans, or enact laws; these tasks belong to the executive and legislative branches.
Tips
- Use separation of powers: legislature makes laws, executive governs/administers, judiciary interprets and decides cases. Look for keywords like court, judgment, adjudication for judicial roles, and eliminate options related to making laws or governing.
