Florida Civics EOC Practice Test

Which branch of government is responsible for applying and enforcing laws?

1. Legislative

2. Executive

3. Judicial

4. Administrative

The correct answer is: Executive

The legislative branch is responsible for creating laws, not enforcing them. The judicial branch interprets the laws and administers justice, but they do not directly enforce laws. The administrative branch oversees the day-to-day operations of the government, but they also do not enforce laws. Only the executive branch, which includes the president and their appointed officials, has the power to enforce laws and ensure they are being followed and applied properly. Therefore, the executive branch is the correct answer to this question.
