Question

1. how does the executive order relate back to the president’s constitutional duties?

the executive order helps the executive branch carry out laws.

the executive order edits the constitution.

the executive order helps make sense of laws passed by congress.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The US has a system of checks and balances, so the President isn't a "main ruler" (eliminated).
• Option 2: The President's constitutional duty includes enforcing laws. Executive Orders direct the executive branch to implement laws, so this fits.
• Option 3: Only amendments can change the Constitution; Executive Orders can't (eliminated).
• Option 4: Interpreting laws is the judicial branch's role (eliminated).

Answer:

B. The Executive Order helps the executive branch carry out laws.
