What is the German constitution called?

- D Basic Law ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Germany's constitution is officially called the Basic Law, adopted in 1949 for the Federal Republic and retained after reunification. It functions as the supreme legal framework, above ordinary federal statutes.
Tips
- Look for the term that denotes the supreme constitutional order established in 1949, not a generic or ordinary law.
- Eliminate options that just mean "federal law" or "people's law", as those describe types of statutes, not the constitution.
- Keywords like "constitution/supreme law" point to the correct specialized term rather than general legislation.
