Rock the American Government CLEP 2024 – Ace Your Way to Success!

The Supreme Court has the power to interpret and apply laws in the United States. This is because the Supreme Court is the highest court in the country and its decisions are the final word on interpreting the Constitution and federal laws. This responsibility is not held by the President, Congress, or state governors. While the President and Congress are part of the lawmaking process, they do not have the power to interpret or apply laws. Similarly, state governors only have jurisdiction over laws within their own state. Therefore, the option B is the correct answer as the Supreme Court is uniquely responsible for interpreting and applying laws at a federal level in the United States.
