Demokratische GrundordnungVerfassung

Was sind die Grundprinzipien der österreichischen Bundesverfassung?

  1. Demokratisches, republikanisches, bundesstaatliches, rechtsstaatliches und gewaltenteilendes Prinzip
  2. Freiheit, Markt und Eigentum
  3. Monarchie, Tradition und Religion
  4. Sozialismus, Gleichheit und Brüderlichkeit

Why this is the correct answer

Austria's Federal Constitution rests on five core structural principles: democracy, which vests power in the people; republicanism, which excludes monarchy; federalism, which divides power between the federal and state levels; the rule of law (Rechtsstaat), which subjects all state action to legal norms; and separation of powers, which distributes authority among legislative, executive, and judicial branches. These principles are so fundamental that changing any of them requires a mandatory national referendum. Together they form a framework that cannot be dismantled by ordinary parliamentary majorities.
