Yes, but... Congress is supposed to make laws that uphold the principles of the Constitution, but that doesn't always happen. Legislation can become law even if it doesn't agree with the Constitution, but the law can be challenged in the courts and be nullified or overturned if the judges or justices believe it violates the Constitution.

The bottom line is Congress can make unconstitutional laws if enough of them agree to pass the legislation and if the President doesn't veto it or if Congress has enough votes to override the veto, but the laws can be overturned by the courts or repealed by Congress later.

The division of responsibility outlined in the Constitution gives the power to pass laws to the Legislative branch (in the form of Congress), and the power to enforce laws to the Executive branch (in the form of the Office of the President).

So, the answer to this question is YES.

No, Congress (the legislative branch) writes the laws. The judicial branch makes sure the laws are carried out. Police, sheriffs, judges and courts are part of the judicial branch.

COPS AND SHERIFFS ARE NOT APART OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH!

They are apart of the Executive branch. The Executive Branch makes sure laws are followed and if not, they BRING the breakers of the law to the Judicial Branch (Interpreters of the law) who then hears what has been done to break it and rule accordingly.

Legislative Branch - The Legislative Branch is made up of two houses which we call Congress. The two houses that make up Congress are The House of Representatives, and The Senate.

Congress (Legislative Branch) makes and passes laws

Executive Branch (Law Enforcement, President, and many other independent agencies, and Federally ran agencies) - Makes sure that laws passed are followed

Judicial Branch (Supreme Court, the Court that follows constitutions law) (State Courts, the courts that follow State government law) - Interprets laws and judges based on the laws outlined. The Federal Courts judge based on the laws outlined by the constitution. The State Courts judge based on laws outlined by State Government.

Congress is an integral part of the legislative process. After both Houses of the Congress pass legislation, it needs the Executive Branch assent (President). Moreover, the courts make law through case law. In addition, although not law, Presidential Executive Orders have the force and effect of law absent overturning by the other branches.

No, the Executive Branch is responsible for carrying out and enforcing the law.

The Executive Branch does so through its various agencies.

Does the president make any laws?

No. It's the Congress who write the bills. And the president signs the bills. However, the president is in charge of enforcing laws that Congress has made and he has a great deal of leeway in how or if laws are enforced. He issues directives to federal workers on how to interpret and carry out laws. In that sense, he makes laws.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed for popular sovereignty in determining whether a state would allow slavery, leading to violent conflicts in Kansas between pro and anti-slavery forces. Enforcement was carried out by local territorial governments, but the lack of clear guidelines and the intense controversy surrounding the issue of slavery aggravated the situation, making effective enforcement difficult.
