Which branch of government has the power to review and interpret laws in the United States?

  1. Executive branch.

  2. Legislative branch.

  3. Judicial branch.

  4. Administrative branch.

The correct answer is: Judicial branch.

The Legislative branch, sometimes referred to as Congress, is responsible for creating laws, not interpreting them. The Executive branch, which consists of the President and their administration, is responsible for enforcing laws. The Administrative branch is not actually a branch of government, but rather a term used to describe various agencies under the Executive branch. The Judicial branch, also known as the Supreme Court and other federal courts, is responsible for interpreting laws and ensuring they are in line with the Constitution. Therefore, the answer is C Judicial branch.
