443. For how many years is the Landtag of Schleswig-Holstein elected?

Answer options

1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
4. 6

Explanation

The Landtag of Schleswig-Holstein is elected for five years; the length of the legislative term is laid down in the state constitution. The determination of term length is a matter for the Land; the Basic Law (Art. 28(1) GG) mandates democratic principles and electoral guarantees but does not prescribe a specific term. Early termination is possible only under narrowly defined constitutional conditions (e.g., self-dissolution by a qualified majority or prolonged inability to form a government), balancing stability with democratic responsiveness.
