The executive branch mainly enforces federal laws. The president is also known as the chief of state and performs ceremonial duties around the countries.

Answer 1

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The executive branch mainly interprets the federal laws and upholds or negates them, is the right answer.

In the system of government in which the power of a nation is divided into three branches generally, the Judiciary, Legislative and Executive for the purpose of proper regulation of law and order, is known as the Separation of Power. In such a system, the role of the executive branch is to implement the rules and laws written and interpreted respectively by the legislature and the judiciary. In this way, the executive branch has no power to pass or interpret laws.

Answer 2

The incorrect statement is the following: "The executive branch mainly interprets the federal laws and upholds or negates them".

The executive branch is in charge of law enforcement. Interpreting the laws is the duty of the judiciary branch, which is legitimized to confirm or abolish state and federal laws if they consider that those comply with, or are contrary to, the provisions of the US Constitution respectively.
