Overall, the Legislative branch is responsible for making laws, the Executive branch is responsible for enforcing laws, and the Judicial branch is responsible for interpreting laws. The Governor may veto laws, though the General Assembly can override a veto if enough of them agree. The Supreme Court of Georgia can, if asked, examine laws and rule them to be unconstitutional if they are found to violate the principles and foundations of Georgia law. This system of checks and balances helps ensure that no one branch of government becomes too powerful.
