Which branch of government makes the laws?

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

Answer: (A)

Laws are made by the legislative branch. Congress, with its two houses—the Senate and the House of Representatives—drafts, debates, and votes on bills. After both houses approve, the bill goes to the President to sign into law or veto. If vetoed, Congress can override with a two‑thirds vote in both houses. The President enforces laws, and the courts interpret them. There isn’t a separate Administrative Branch in the Constitution, though executive agencies help administer laws. So the legislative branch is the one that makes laws.
