German original (as asked in the real test)
Zu einem demokratischen Rechtsstaat gehört es nicht, dass …
- A Menschen sich kritisch über die Regierung äußern können.
- B Bürger friedlich demonstrieren gehen dürfen.
- C Menschen von einer Privatpolizei ohne Grund verhaftet werden. ✓ Correct answer
- D jemand ein Verbrechen begeht und deshalb verhaftet wird.
Translation
A democratic constitutional state does not include that ...
- A people can express criticism of the government.
- B citizens are allowed to demonstrate peacefully.
- C people are arrested by a private police without reason. ✓ Correct answer
- D someone commits a crime and is therefore arrested.
Explanation
In a democratic rule of law state, only lawful authorities may detain someone, and only with legal cause, so arrest by a private group without reason contradicts this principle. Criticizing the government, peaceful protest, and lawful arrest after a crime are all consistent with it.
Tips
- The state alone holds the power to arrest, and only with legal grounds.
- Free speech, peaceful protest, and lawful arrests all fit a rule of law state.
