Of the three branches of the federal government, which branch makes statutory law?

  1. Legislative

  2. Judicial

  3. Executive

  4. Presidential

The correct answer is: Legislative

Legislative branch, also known as Congress, is responsible for making statutory laws. This includes passing bills that become laws once signed by the President or overriding the President's veto. Judicial branch interprets laws but does not make them. Executive branch (which includes the President) enforces laws but does not make them. The term "presidential" is often used to refer to the Executive branch as a whole, but it is not synonymous with legislative law-making. Therefore, the correct answer is A, legislative branch.
