Answer
- D The state must abide by the laws.
Explanation
Rule of law means that the state, too, is bound by the laws (Article 20(3) of the Basic Law). Anyone who believes that an authority is acting unlawfully can take it to court. The word "Recht" here means law and has nothing to do with right-wing parties.
