Which branch of government has the power to levy taxes in the United States?

  1. Executive branch.

  2. Legislative branch.

  3. Judicial branch.

  4. State governments.

The correct answer is: Legislative branch.

The legislative branch, also known as Congress, is responsible for creating and passing laws, including tax laws. The executive branch (choice A) is responsible for enforcing the laws, while the judicial branch (choice C) interprets the laws. State governments (choice D) also have the power to levy taxes, but the question specifically asks about the United States as a whole, in which case the legislative branch is the correct answer.
