Which term is the branch of government that interprets laws and administers justice?

• A. Land
• B. Judicial Branch
• C. Labor
• D. Inquiry

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is who handles interpreting laws and delivering justice within the government. The judicial branch is responsible for this. Courts and judges interpret and apply laws created by the legislature, settle disputes between people and entities, and protect constitutional rights. They also review whether laws or government actions fit the Constitution, guiding how laws are enforced and ensuring fairness. This role is distinct from the legislative branch, which makes laws, and the executive branch, which enforces them. In many systems, including Kentucky’s, this separation helps keep power balanced and rights protected. The other terms don’t describe a branch that interprets laws or administers justice—they’re not about judicial functions.
