What does the Legislative Branch of the government do?

  1. Makes laws

  2. Interprets laws

  3. Enforces laws

  4. Audits federal agencies

The correct answer is: Makes laws

The legislative branch, also known as Congress, is responsible for making laws. This is its main focus and the primary task assigned to this branch of government. The other options are incorrect because they are responsibilities of other branches. The judicial branch (option B) is responsible for interpreting laws, while the executive branch (option C) is responsible for enforcing laws. Option D refers to the function of the Government Accountability Office, which is an independent agency that assists Congress in auditing federal agencies.
