Which branch is responsible for enforcing laws?

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

Answer: (D)

Enforcing laws means putting laws into action and making sure they are applied in everyday government work. That job belongs to the executive branch, which leads the government, runs departments and agencies, and oversees law enforcement and regulatory enforcement. The people in this branch implement decisions, carry out programs, and ensure laws passed by the legislature are actually followed.

The legislative branch is the one that writes laws, not enforces them. The judicial branch interprets laws and resolves disputes in courts. The term “Administrative Branch” doesn’t describe a separate formal branch in most governments; it generally refers to the administrative parts of the executive.
