Which branch decides if laws are carried out fairly and constitutional?

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

Answer: (A)

Judicial Branch interprets laws and protects constitutional rights. Courts review how laws are applied and whether government actions align with the Constitution. Through judicial review, they can strike down or modify laws and actions that are unconstitutional, ensuring fair treatment and due process. This oversight acts as a check and balance on the other branches, which create and enforce laws but do not have the final say on constitutionality. A foundational idea behind this power is that courts can review legislation and executive actions for constitutionality. The Legislative Branch makes laws; the Executive Branch enforces them; the Administrative Branch is not a separate branch in this framework, so the ultimate determination of constitutionality rests with the judiciary.
