Which branch of government can veto laws?

• A. Executive branch
• B. Legislative branch
• C. Judicial branch
• D. Monarchy

Answer: (A)

Veto power belongs to the executive branch. After the legislative branch passes a bill, the executive can reject it, preventing it from becoming law unless the legislature overrides the veto with the required supermajority. This creates a check on lawmakers, ensuring that laws align with constitutional boundaries or broader policy considerations. The judicial branch’s role is to interpret laws and decide disputes or constitutional issues, not to veto legislation. A monarchy isn’t a branch of government in this context, and in systems with a monarch, veto power, if it exists, is typically exercised by the elected executive rather than the monarch.
