A.Pure direct democracy without parties

B.A parliamentary democracy constrained by a rigid constitution and constitutional court

C.An absolute monarchy

This free English MCQ bank trains political-economic concepts, LA26 Schwerpunkte, bilingual assessment rules, and judgment before students practise full official-style French Klausur tasks.
