Which branch of government has the power to interpret and apply laws in the United States?

  1. Executive branch.

  2. Judicial branch.

  3. Legislative branch.

  4. Administrative branch.

The correct answer is: Judicial branch.

The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting and applying laws in the United States. The executive branch, while responsible for enforcing laws, does not have the power to interpret and apply them. The legislative branch is responsible for making laws, but does not have the power to interpret and apply them. The administrative branch, also known as the bureaucracy, is responsible for managing government agencies but does not have the power to interpret and apply laws. Therefore, the judicial branch is the correct answer.
