Under the Constitution, who is in charge of making laws?

The correct answer is Congress because the Constitution explicitly grants legislative powers to Congress, which is the bicameral legislature of the United States, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Article I of the Constitution outlines the powers and responsibilities of Congress, including the authority to create laws. This structure ensures a system of checks and balances, where laws are proposed, debated, and voted upon by elected representatives, reflecting the will of the people.

While the President plays a role in the legislative process by signing bills into law or vetoing them, and the Supreme Court interprets laws and assesses their constitutionality, neither has the power to create laws as Congress does. State legislatures also have authority to make laws within their jurisdictions, but the question specifically pertains to the federal level, where Congress holds this primary law-making responsibility.
