What is a duty of the police in Germany?
- A to defend the country
- B to eavesdrop on citizens
- C to enact laws
- D to monitor compliance with laws ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
The police in Germany enforce and monitor compliance with the law as part of the executive branch. National defense belongs to the military, lawmaking to parliament, and surveillance of citizens is tightly restricted by law.
Tips
- Enforcing existing laws is police work, writing laws and defending the country are other branches' jobs entirely.
