- A freedom of faith and conscience ✓ Correct answer
- B entertainment
- C work
- D housing
Explanation
The German Basic Law (Grundgesetz) explicitly guarantees freedom of faith and conscience as a fundamental right (Article 4). Rights like work or housing are social policy goals/principles, not individual fundamental rights, and "entertainment" is not a constitutional right.
Tips
- Learn the typical catalog of Grundrechte in rticles 1–19 GG (e.g., human dignity, equality, personal freedoms, freedom of expression, religion, assembly, property, asylum, petition).
- Distinguish enforceable fundamental freedoms from social/state objectives (e.g., work, housing). The latter are not classic Grundrechte.
- Eliminate options that sound like lifestyle benefits or policy aims rather than freedoms or protections against state interference.
- Look for keywords like freedom, equality, dignity, inviolability, and protection of personal spheres—these often indicate Grundrechte.
