- D unconstitutional. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
In Germany, parties must respect the free democratic basic order of the Basic Law. A party aiming to establish a dictatorship seeks to abolish democracy and the rule of law, making it unconstitutional. Such parties can be banned by the Federal Constitutional Court under Article 21 of the Basic Law.
Tips
- Look for keywords like dictatorship, abolishing democracy, or undermining the free democratic basic order—these signal unconstitutionality. Eliminate options suggesting law-abiding behavior, tolerance, or rule-of-law orientation. Recall that parties hostile to the constitutional order can be banned by the Constitutional Court.
