Explanation:

Question 20

The Legislative Branch (correctly spelled "Legislative") in a government (like the US) is primarily responsible for law - making. Option b is the role of the Judicial Branch (determining constitutionality of laws), option c is the role of the Executive Branch (enforcing laws), and option d is not a primary role of the Legislative Branch. So the correct option is the one that says "To make laws".

Enumerated powers are powers of the federal government that are specifically listed in the Constitution. Declaring war is an enumerated power of Congress (part of the Legislative Branch) as per the US Constitution. Forming a National Bank was based on implied powers (McCulloch v. Maryland), issuing licenses and establishing schools are typically reserved powers (for states) or not enumerated powers of the federal government in the same way. So the correct option is the one related to declaring war.

Answer:

a. To make laws
