✓ Correct Answer
Federal Constitutional Court
The correct answer is: “Federal Constitutional Court”. The Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe is the highest court in Germany and, as the "guardian of the constitution", ensures that all state organs comply with the Basic Law - its judgments are binding. This question is part of the official naturalization test “Living in Germany” from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and is a prerequisite for German citizenship.
