EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Article 12 of the Basic Law prohibits forced labour; it is permitted only in the case of detention ordered by a court. Military service is possible under Article 12a, the free choice of occupation is guaranteed, and working abroad is permitted.
Forced labour is banned (Article 12), military service is not.
