The legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces laws, and the judicial branch determines whether laws are constitutional or whether laws have been broken.
- Make laws: Legislative branch (Congress at the federal level).
- Enforce laws: Executive branch (the President and federal agencies).
- Determine if laws are broken: Judicial branch (courts, including the Supreme Court) interprets laws and decides constitutional questions or cases of alleged violations.
If you’re asking about a specific country or a different level of government (state, provincial, or local), the general pattern is similar: a legislature makes laws, an executive enforces them, and a judiciary interprets and adjudicates. Let me know if you want details for a particular country or jurisdiction.
