Answer options

2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

Explanation

Saxony-Anhalt is one of the 16 Länder of the Federal Republic, re-established in 1990 by the Unification Treaty after the GDR’s districts were dissolved; historically it was created in 1946 from the Prussian Province of Saxony and the Free State of Anhalt and abolished in the East in 1952. Under the Basic Law, the Länder possess their own statehood (Arts. 30, 70 GG), including cultural sovereignty and their own constitutions. Through the Bundesrat they participate in federal legislation (Art. 50 GG); the federal structure anchored in Art. 20(1) GG is protected by the eternity clause (Art. 79(3) GG).
