What body of government is granted the power to enforce the Civil War Amendments?

Question

A) state governments
B) the Executive Branch
C) the Judicial Branch
D) the Legislative Branch

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) the Legislative Branch.

The Legislative Branch, particularly Congress, is granted the power to enforce the Civil War Amendments (the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments) through legislation. For example, Section 2 of the 14th Amendment explicitly states that Congress has the authority to enforce its provisions through appropriate legislation.
