What existed in Germany during the Nazi era?
- the banning of parties Correct
- the right to the free development of one's personality
- freedom of the press
- the protection of human dignity
Why — for every option
- A — Correct: under the 1933 "Law against the Formation of New Parties", the Nazi party was the only permitted party — all others were banned.
- B — The right to the free development of one's personality is a basic right under today's Basic Law (Art. 2); in the Nazi state, the individual was subordinated to the "national community".
- C — There was strict press censorship and forced coordination (Gleichschaltung), not press freedom.
- D — The protection of human dignity as an inviolable basic right is a lesson drawn from the Nazi era, only anchored in 1949 in Art. 1 of the Basic Law — in the Nazi state, human dignity was systematically violated.
