- B Alle sollen gleich viel Geld haben. ✓ Correct answer

Translation
What is NOT in Germany's Basic Law?
- A Human dignity is inviolable.
- B Everyone should have the same amount of money. ✓ Correct answer
- C Everyone may express their opinion.
- D Everyone is equal before the law.
Explanation
The Basic Law guarantees human dignity, equality before the law, and freedom of expression, but it never promises everyone the same amount of money. Equal income is a policy idea, not a constitutional right.
Tips
- Dignity, equality before the law, and free speech are real Basic Law guarantees.
- Equal wealth for everyone is not, it is an economic idea, not a right.
