Which branch has the power to enforce or interpret laws?

• A. Parliament
• B. Courts
• C. Judiciary
• D. Executive

Answer: (C)

Interpreting laws is the job of the judiciary. Courts read statutes created by Parliament and decide how they should apply to real cases, resolving disputes and determining what a law means in different situations. They also issue rulings and orders that compel action or prevent it, which is how the law is applied in practice. While the Executive handles enforcing laws through police and government agencies, the judiciary’s role is to interpret and ensure laws are applied correctly and consistently, and to safeguard constitutional rights. So, when the question asks who interprets laws, the branch responsible is the judiciary.
