The branch of government that makes the laws.

• A. Executive Branch
• B. Legislative Branch
• C. Judicial Branch
• D. Administrative Branch

Answer: (B)

Making laws is the job of the legislative branch. It’s the group of elected lawmakers who draft proposed statutes, debate them, and vote to pass or reject them. In many systems, a bill goes through committees, floor debates, and then two approval stages before becoming law, sometimes requiring the head of state’s signature and the possibility of an override if there’s a veto. This process separates law creation from enforcement and interpretation, which are handled by the executive and judicial branches respectively. The executive enforces laws, while the judiciary interprets and applies them in court. That separation of powers is what puts the responsibility for creating laws with the legislative branch.
