Translation
What is not a state power in Germany?
- A Legislative
- B Judiciary
- C Executive
- D Directive ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Germany follows the separation of powers: legislative (makes laws), executive (implements/enforces laws), and judiciary (interprets/applies laws). The remaining option is not one of these state powers in Germany.
Tips
- Memorize the three classic branches of power: legislature, executive, judiciary (German terms: Legislative, Exekutive, Judikative).
- Eliminate terms that are not part of this triad or sound unfamiliar in constitutional context.
- Watch for similar-looking words that are not official branches.
- Translate or recall Latin/Greek roots to identify functions (e.g., legis = law, judic = judge).
