Which branch is responsible for making laws?

• A. Legislative
• B. Executive
• C. Judicial
• D. Administrative

Answer: (A)

Creating laws is the function of the legislative branch. In Florida, the Legislature—made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives—drafts, debates, and passes statutes. Once both chambers agree on a bill, it goes to the Governor, who can sign it into law or veto it; the Legislature may sometimes override a veto with the appropriate vote. The executive branch carries out and enforces laws, while the judicial branch interprets and applies them in court. Administrative agencies exist to run programs and implement rules, but they do not create laws themselves.
