A party in Germany pursues the goal of establishing a dictatorship. It is then…
- A tolerant.
- B rule-of-law oriented.
- C law-abiding.
- D unconstitutional. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
A party in Germany must respect the free democratic basic order set out in the Basic Law, so one aiming to establish a dictatorship works against that order and is unconstitutional. Such a party can be banned by the Federal Constitutional Court under Article 21.
Tips
- Aiming for a dictatorship is the opposite of law abiding or tolerant, it is unconstitutional.
- Only the Federal Constitutional Court can ban a party for this.
