Which branch of government has the power to propose and approve treaties in the United States?

Executive branch.
Legislative branch.
Judicial branch.
State governments.

The correct answer is: Executive branch.

The executive branch is responsible for proposing and approving treaties in the United States, while the legislative branch is involved in the ratification process. The judicial branch does not have any role in this process and state governments do not have the power to make treaties with other countries. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect. Additionally, the legislative branch can only play a role in the ratification process after the executive branch has proposed and approved the treaty.
