Translation
When can a party be banned in Germany?
- A if its election campaign is too expensive
- B if it fights against the constitution ✓ Correct answer
- C if it expresses criticism of the head of state
- D if its program suggests a new direction
Explanation
A party in Germany can be banned only if it actively works against the constitution, especially the free democratic basic order. The Federal Constitutional Court decides such bans, and expensive campaigns or criticism of the head of state are not grounds for one.
Tips
- Only fighting the constitutional order can get a party banned, and only the Federal Constitutional Court can do it.
- Criticism and new policies are normal politics, not grounds for a ban.
