Which branch of government is responsible for making laws?

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

Answer: (A)

Making laws is the responsibility of the legislative branch. This branch creates, debates, and passes statutes that establish the rules a country or state follows. Lawmakers propose bills, discuss their implications, vote on them, and, after approval, the bills become laws. The executive enforces these laws and can propose or veto legislation, while the judicial branch interprets and applies them in courts. Administrative agencies implement the laws, but they don’t serve as a lawmaking body. So the legislative branch is the one that sets the laws.
