Which is a role of the Legislature?

• A. Preside over justice.
• B. Debate policies and laws in order to represent the views of the public.
• C. Implement the policies of government departments.
• D. Appoint the Prime Minister.

Answer: (B)

Legislatures exist to debate policies, draft and pass laws, and represent the people in making and shaping public policy. The option that describes lawmakers weighing policies and laws to reflect public views captures that direct function of lawmaking and representation—the core way the legislature actions reflect what citizens want and need.

Presiding over justice is a judiciary function, not legislative. Implementing policies of government departments is the job of the executive branch and its ministries. Appointing the Prime Minister is a process tied to the head of state and political leadership, not a legislative duty.
