Which branch carries out laws?

Which branch carries out laws?

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

Answer: (B)

Understanding how government handles laws: enforcing and implementing them is the job of the executive branch. This branch takes laws that the legislature has created and puts them into action—running government programs, enforcing regulations, and directing agencies. The president or governor signs laws into effect (or vetoes them) and oversees how they’re carried out. The legislative branch originally writes and passes laws, and the judicial branch interprets and applies them in courts. The electoral process is about selecting leaders, not a branch that carries out laws. So the branch that carries out laws is the executive.
