Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the executive branch?

Approving laws

Making laws

The executive branch of government is primarily responsible for carrying out and enforcing laws rather than making them. This branch is led by the president (at the federal level in the United States) and includes various departments and agencies that execute laws passed by the legislative branch.

Among its key functions, the executive branch implements laws, which involves putting them into action and ensuring they are followed. Enforcing laws is also a major responsibility, as this involves the application of laws and regulations to maintain order and protect citizens.

While the executive branch has the authority to approve certain legislative measures, such as signing bills into law or vetoing them, this comes after the legislative branch has created (made) those laws. Therefore, making laws outright is not a function assigned to the executive branch, establishing why this is the correct answer to the question about its responsibilities.
