Explanation
In Germany, the Bundestag (federal parliament) and the Bundesrat (federal council representing the states) are the two chambers that make laws, which places them in the legislative branch.
Tips
- Recall the separation of powers: Legislative (makes laws), Executive (implements laws, e.g., government), Judiciary (interprets laws, courts).
- Identify key institutions: Bundestag/Bundesrat = lawmaking; Bundesregierung/Bundeskanzler(in) = implementation; Bundesverfassungsgericht/Bundesgerichte = courts.
- Use keywords: “-tag” and “-rat” often signal bodies involved in lawmaking at federal/state levels.
- Eliminate distractors: anything mentioning courts belongs to the judicial branch; anything about government ministries points to the executive.
