Answer

  • B All residents and the state must abide by the laws.

Explanation

Under the rule of law, the law applies to everyone: the people in the country must obey the laws, and the state itself is also bound by law and justice (Article 20(3) of the Basic Law). Parliaments pass the laws, and the courts apply them and keep a check on the state.
