✓ Correct Answer
a lawyer
The correct answer is: “a lawyer”. In Germany, the rule of law principle applies: everyone has the right to a fair trial before an independent court. According to the Basic Law, judges are independent and subject only to the law. 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.
