What is not a feature of our democracy?
In the exam (German)
Was ist kein Merkmal unserer Demokratie?
- aregular electionsregelmäßige Wahlen
- bpress censorshipPressezensurCorrect answer
- cfreedom of expressionMeinungsfreiheit
- ddifferent partiesverschiedene Parteien
Why?
Press censorship means that the state checks or bans reports before they are published. The Basic Law (Grundgesetz) says clearly in Article 5: “There shall be no censorship.” Regular elections, freedom of expression and different parties, on the other hand, are typical features of a democracy.
