Question 4
The legislative branch in the US government (and in many systems) is also called the "Congress" (in the US, consisting of the Senate and House of Representatives) or more generally, the "Law - making branch" as its primary role is law - making. Another common name is the "Legislature".
The main job of the legislative branch (in a democratic system like the US) is to make laws. It also has other functions such as approving the budget, confirming executive appointments (like cabinet members, judges), overseeing the executive branch, and in some cases, declaring war (in the US, Congress has the power to declare war).
In the US government's separation of powers, the Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch. The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the law, resolving legal disputes, and determining the constitutionality of laws and government actions. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the judicial branch.
