Answer 1

The correct pairing of a branch of the US government and its power is:

**executive: enforces laws**

The executive branch is responsible for enforcing and implementing the laws made by the legislature.

The other options are incorrect because:

- The legislative branch makes laws, not interprets them.
- The executive branch does not make laws; that is the role of the legislative branch.
- The judicial branch interprets laws, not the executive or legislative branches.

So, the correct answer is **executive: enforces laws**.
