Which branch of government is responsible for making laws?

• A. Executive Branch
• B. Legislative Branch
• C. The Court
• D. Judicial Branch

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying who creates the laws. The legislative branch is responsible for making laws. It is made up of elected lawmakers who draft proposed laws, debate them, and vote on whether they should become law. In many systems, a bill must pass through both houses and then be signed by the executive, or an overridden veto can still make it law. The executive branch enforces laws, while the judiciary interprets and applies them. So the legislative branch is the one that creates the laws that govern the country.
