Question

1. which of the following is a function of the federal judicial branch?

to elect federal judges.
to interpret federal laws and the constitution.
to enforce federal laws.
to initiate federal legislation.

Explanation:

The federal judicial branch's role is to interpret laws. Electing judges is not its function (executive or legislative may be involved in appointment processes in some systems, but not election in the U.S. federal context as judges are appointed). Enforcing laws is the executive branch's job. Initiating legislation is typically the legislative branch's role.

Answer:

To interpret federal laws and the Constitution.
