What is not a characteristic of our democracy?

In Germany’s democracy, free and regular elections, freedom of opinion, and a pluralistic party system are fundamental. Censorship of the press contradicts Article 5 of the Basic Law, which protects freedom of expression and explicitly forbids censorship.

• Look for elements aligned with the Basic Law: free elections, freedom of expression/press, pluralism (multiple parties), rule of law.
• Eliminate options that suggest authoritarian traits such as censorship, suppression of dissent, one-party rule, or lack of regular elections.
• Keywords like “freedom,” “regular,” and “plurality” usually indicate democratic features; terms like “censorship,” “ban,” or “control of the press” signal non-democratic features.
