Judicial

Executive

Legislative

Option: interprets laws, makes laws, or carries out (enforces) laws

Judicial - interprets laws

Executive - carries out (enforces) laws

Legislative - makes laws

Can you tell me what led you to choose each of these options for the branches of government?

Of course! The Judicial branch is responsible for interpreting laws because it includes the courts and judges who determine how laws should be applied in specific cases. The Executive branch is in charge of carrying out (enforcing) laws because it includes the President, Governor, and other administrative officials who implement and enforce the laws passed by the Legislative branch. The Legislative branch makes laws because it includes the lawmakers (such as Congress or the state legislature) who introduce, debate, and pass new laws.

How is the legislative branch involved in the creation of laws/making them?

The legislative branch (such as Congress or the state legislature) is involved in the creation of laws by introducing, debating, amending, and ultimately passing legislation. Lawmakers propose bills that address various issues or topics, hold hearings and discussions to gather input, debate the pros and cons of the proposed laws, and vote on whether to pass them. Once a bill is approved by both houses of the legislature (House of Representatives and Senate at the federal level), it is sent to the Executive branch for the President or Governor to sign into law or potentially veto. This process allows the legislative branch to play a crucial role in the creation of laws in a democratic system.
