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
The right to asylum in the Basic Law is meant for people fleeing political persecution, so by its nature it applies to non-citizens. Human dignity, family protection, and freedom of expression apply to everyone in Germany, citizens and foreigners alike.
Tips
- Watch for wording like everyone versus all Germans, asylum is the one right written for non-citizens.
- Dignity and free speech protect anyone in Germany, not only foreigners.
