Leben in der Demokratie › Rechtsstaat & Grundrechte
Was für eine Staatsform hat Deutschland?
- Monarchie
- Diktatur
- Republik
- Fürstentum
Why this is the correct answer
Germany is a republic, meaning its head of state holds office based on democratic processes rather than hereditary succession or lifetime appointment. Federal presidents are elected indirectly by the Federal Assembly (Bundesversammlung) for a five-year term. This republican principle is one of the unchangeable core features of the Basic Law.
