74. What is the name of the parliament for the whole of Germany?

Answer options

1. Federal Convention
2. People's Chamber
3. Bundestag
4. Federal Court of Justice

Explanation

The federal parliament is the Bundestag, the only federal constitutional organ directly elected by the people (Art. 38 Basic Law). It shares legislative authority with the Bundesrat, elects the Federal Chancellor, adopts the federal budget, and exercises oversight over the Federal Government (Arts. 63, 110, 43–44 Basic Law). The Federal Convention is not a parliament; it convenes solely to elect the Federal President (Art. 54 Basic Law). The Volkskammer was the GDR’s parliament (1949–1990), and the Federal Court of Justice is the supreme court of ordinary jurisdiction—neither is a legislative body.
