What is the main function of the judicial branch?

• A. Enforce laws
• B. Propose new laws
• C. Manage budget
• D. Interpret laws and settle disputes

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the judicial branch focuses on interpreting laws and resolving disputes. Courts read and apply laws created by the legislative branch, deciding how they should work in real cases. They settle disagreements between people, between people and the government, and between different government agencies. They also check that laws and government actions follow the Constitution. The other branches have different jobs: enforcing laws is the executive branch, making or proposing laws is the legislative branch, and managing the budget involves both legislative and executive processes. For example, if someone believes a law is unfair or unconstitutional, the courts interpret the law and decide how it should be applied.
