Who enacts a new law in Germany?

- B the parliament ✓ Correct answer
- C the courts

Explanation
In Germany's separation of powers, parliament, chiefly the Bundestag, passes new laws. The government proposes and carries them out, courts interpret them, and the police enforce them, but none of those enact laws.
Tips
- Parliament passes laws, the government can propose them but does not enact them.
- Courts and police apply and enforce laws, they do not make them.
