Which branch of government makes the laws?

  1. The Executive Branch

  2. The Legislative Branch

  3. The Judicial Branch

  4. The Bureau of Legislation

The correct answer is: The Legislative Branch

The Legislative Branch is responsible for making laws because they have the power to introduce, debate, and pass legislation. The Executive Branch, while responsible for enforcing laws, can also propose legislation and veto bills, but ultimately it is the role of the Legislative Branch to make the laws. The Judicial Branch interprets and applies laws, but does not have the authority to create them. The Bureau of Legislation, while it may assist with the drafting of legislation, does not have the power to actually make laws.
