Which branch of government makes laws?

• A. The Legislative branch.
• B. The Judicial branch.
• C. The Executive branch.
• D. The Administrative branch.

Answer: (A)

Making laws is done by the legislative branch. This part of government includes representatives and senators who write bills, discuss them, and vote to pass them. When most members vote in favor, the bill moves forward and the leader signs it into law. Once signed, it becomes a rule that everyone must follow.

The other branches do different jobs. The judicial branch interprets laws and settles disputes about what they mean. The executive branch enforces laws, making sure they are carried out. The administrative branch isn’t the group that makes laws, so it isn’t the one responsible for creating laws.
