Which right is one of the fundamental rights in Germany?
In the exam (German)
Welches Recht gehört zu den Grundrechten in Deutschland?
- aowning weapons (Waffenbesitz)Waffenbesitz
- bmight is right (Faustrecht)Faustrecht
- cfreedom of expression (Meinungsfreiheit)MeinungsfreiheitCorrect answer
- dvigilante justice (Selbstjustiz)Selbstjustiz
Why?
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right under Article 5 of the Basic Law. “Might is right” (Faustrecht) and vigilante justice (Selbstjustiz), on the other hand, are forbidden: in a dispute, the police and the courts decide, not you yourself. There is no fundamental right to own weapons; for firearms you need a permit from the authorities.
