Question

a government official enforces a law in a way that contradicts congress’s original intent. according to the constitution, which branch is responsible for resolving this issue?

• the legislative branch, because it can amend laws to clarify their intent and prevent unforeseen issues
• the executive branch, because it can dismiss officials who fail to follow proper enforcement procedures
• the judicial branch, because it has the power to interpret laws and determine if they are applied correctly
• the executive branch, because it has complete authority over how laws are enforced without oversight

Explanation:

The question is about which branch resolves a law conflicting with Congress's intent. The legislative branch (Congress) can amend laws to clarify intent and prevent such issues. The executive enforces, judicial interprets, and bureaucracy implements, but amending to fix intent conflicts is legislative.

Answer:

The legislative branch, because it can amend laws to clarify their intent and prevent unforeseen issues (the first option, assuming the first option is labeled as such with this description).
