Which branch of government is responsible for making laws?

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

Answer: (A)

The branch that makes laws is the one that writes, debates, and votes on bills. Legislators introduce proposals, discuss them in committees, and, after careful consideration, vote to pass them. In Georgia, once the General Assembly approves a bill, it goes to the governor to sign into law or veto; if vetoed, the legislature may override the veto with enough votes. This process shows why creating laws is the legislative function. The executive branch enforces laws and runs government agencies, while the judicial branch interprets and applies laws in courts. Administrative isn’t a branch that makes laws in the standard framework.
