What is executive power?

Interpreting and applying the law
Implementing the laws
Proposing new laws
Amending the constitution

The correct answer is: Implementing the laws

Executive power refers to the authority that is given to the executive branch of government to implement and enforce laws. This includes carrying out the policies and decisions made by the legislative branch, which proposes new laws, and the judicial branch, which interprets and applies the law. While the executive branch may propose new laws, this falls under the responsibility of the legislative branch. Amending the constitution also falls under the purview of the legislative branch. Therefore, the correct answer for executive power is implementing the laws.
