Question 30 · Federal question
What is not a characteristic of our democracy?
German original (as asked in the real test)
Was ist kein Merkmal unserer Demokratie?
- A regelmäßige Wahlen
- B Pressezensur ✓ Correct answer
- C Meinungsfreiheit
- D verschiedene Parteien
Translation
What is not a characteristic of our democracy?
- A regular elections
- B press censorship ✓ Correct answer
- C freedom of opinion
- D various parties
Explanation
Regular elections, freedom of opinion, and a system with several parties are core features of German democracy. Press censorship contradicts Article 5 of the Basic Law, which protects free expression and explicitly forbids censorship.
Tips
- Censorship is banned by name in Article 5, so it can never be a democratic feature.
- Free elections, free opinion, and multiple parties are what democracy actually looks like.
