Which minister does Schleswig-Holstein not have?
- A Minister of Justice
- B Minister of Foreign Affairs ✓ Correct answer

Explanation
German federal states have ministries for areas under state competence (e.g., Interior, Justice, Finance). Foreign affairs are an exclusive federal matter, so no state has a Foreign Minister.
Tips
- Foreign affairs, defense, and currency are federal powers.
- Common state ministries: Interior, Justice, Finance, Education.
- Eliminate typical state portfolios first.
- The outlier tied to external relations is the answer.
