Translation
Which fundamental right in Germany applies only to foreigners? The fundamental right to…
- A protection of the family
- B human dignity
- C asylum ✓ Correct answer
- D freedom of expression
Explanation
In the German Basic Law, the right to asylum is specifically designed for persons who are politically persecuted and is, by nature, exercised by non-citizens. The other listed rights (human dignity, protection of family, freedom of expression) are universal rights guaranteed to everyone in Germany.
Tips
- Identify whether a right is a universal human right ("everyone") versus a citizen-specific right ("all Germans").
- Eliminate options tied to human dignity or broad civil liberties, as these generally apply to all persons in Germany.
- Look for keywords linked to migration and protection for persecuted individuals; such rights are typically intended for non-citizens.
- Remember some rights in the Basic Law explicitly mention "Alle Deutschen" (citizens' rights), others say "Jeder" (everyone).
