If one goes by the original writing that is found within the Constitution, then none of the branches of government (executive, legislative, or judicial) has the authority to interpret the Constitution. It was not until the court case Marbury v. Madison (1803) that Chief Justice John Marshall established the concept of judicial review. Judicial review simply states that if any act of government goes against the federal Constitution, then that act is invalid. Now, the theory of judicial review every act that is repugnant is invalid, but in practice the suit has to be brought before the federal Supreme Court (state supreme courts if it is a conflict about state acts). So, to answer the question, the judicial branch is responsible for "interpreting" the Constitution.
