Question 7

To determine which branch interprets laws, recall U.S. government structure: Executive enforces, Legislative makes, Judicial interprets. Option d matches.

Legislative vs Executive powers: Impeachment is Legislative (House impeaches, Senate tries) over Executive. Judicial review is Judicial, appointing justices is Executive (President) with Legislative approval, veto is Executive over Legislative. So a is correct.

Federalists' view: They wanted a strong central government with checks/balances (vs Anti - Federalists' state - centered view). Option b aligns with Federalist arguments for national stability and rights via strong central authority with balances.

Answer:

d. The judicial branch interprets
