Show the answer
Correct answer: Judikative
Why?
A judge works for the Judikative (judiciary). Under the separation of powers, state authority is divided between the Legislative (legislature), the Exekutive (executive) and the Judikative. The press helps to hold those in power to account, but it is not a branch of the state.
Key term: Gewaltenteilung = separation of powers
