which branch of government has the power to make laws?

The branch of government that has the power to make laws is the legislative branch. In the United States, the legislative branch is composed of Congress, which is divided into two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

To find this answer, you can refer to the Constitution of the country you are asking about. The Constitution outlines the structure and powers of the different branches of government. In the case of the United States, Article I of the U.S. Constitution establishes the legislative branch and grants it the authority to make laws. Other countries may have different names for their legislative bodies, such as Parliament or National Assembly, but they typically hold the power to make laws as well.
