German laws prohibit…
German original (as asked in the real test)
Die deutschen Gesetze verbieten …
- A Meinungsfreiheit der Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner.
- B Petitionen der Bürgerinnen und Bürger.
- C Versammlungsfreiheit der Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner.
- D Ungleichbehandlung der Bürgerinnen und Bürger durch den Staat. ✓ Correct answer
Translation
German laws prohibit…
- A freedom of expression for residents.
- B petitions by citizens.
- C freedom of assembly for residents.
- D unequal treatment of citizens by the state. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
The Basic Law protects freedom of expression, assembly, and the right to petition, so those cannot be the answer. What it explicitly forbids is the state treating citizens unequally, reflecting the constitutional equality principle.
Tips
- Expression, assembly, and petition are rights that are guaranteed, not banned.
- Unequal treatment by the state is the one thing actually prohibited.
