Which branch is primarily responsible for enforcing laws?

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

Answer: (C)

Enforcement of laws is carried out by the executive branch, which implements statutes and runs police, regulatory agencies, and prosecutors to ensure laws are followed. The legislative branch makes laws, but does not enforce them; the judiciary interprets and applies laws in courts. Administrative is not a separate branch, but a set of agencies within the executive that administer and enforce regulations.
