Like a legislature, they have rulemaking authority; like the executive branch, they enforce rules; and like a judiciary, they interpret different regulations.
Like a legislature, independent executive agencies have rulemaking authority, which allows them to create regulations. Like the executive branch, they enforce these rules and regulations. And like a judiciary, they interpret and apply different regulations.
To answer this question, we need to understand the qualities of the other branches of government, which are the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judiciary branch.
1. The legislative branch, also known as Congress, is responsible for making laws. Members of Congress are elected by the people and listen to the needs of the citizens they represent.
2. The executive branch, led by the President, enforces and carries out the laws made by Congress. The President is elected by the people.
3. The judiciary branch, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts, interprets the laws and ensures they are applied fairly and constitutionally.
Now, we can look at the responses and determine which one explains how independent executive agencies take on the qualities of the other branches:
"They have to listen to the needs of the lobbyists." - This response does not accurately describe how independent executive agencies take on the qualities of the other branches. Listening to lobbyists is not a characteristic of any of the three branches.
"Like the legislature, they need to be elected." - This response is also incorrect. Independent executive agencies are not elected like members of the legislative branch.
"They have the final say about what legislation gets signed into law by the president." - This response is not accurate either. The final say about what legislation gets signed into law belongs to Congress, not independent executive agencies.
"Like a legislature, they have rulemaking authority; like the executive branch, they enforce rules; and like a judiciary, they interpret different regulations." - This response correctly describes how independent executive agencies take on the qualities of the other branches. Like the legislative branch, they have the authority to create rules; like the executive branch, they enforce those rules; and like the judiciary branch, they interpret regulations.
Therefore, the correct response is: "Like a legislature, they have rulemaking authority; like the executive branch, they enforce rules; and like a judiciary, they interpret different regulations."
