Who is usually responsible for interpreting the law?

  1. Supreme Court

  2. Legislature

  3. Legislative Judiciary

  4. Executive Agencies

The correct answer is: Executive Agencies

While the Supreme Court may have the final say on interpreting the law in specific cases, it is ultimately the role of the executive branch to enforce and interpret laws passed by the legislature. The legislature's role is to create and amend laws, not interpret them. The term "Legislative Judiciary" is not a recognized division of government and is therefore incorrect. Executive agencies, such as the Department of Justice, are responsible for interpreting laws within their specific jurisdiction.
