Which branch interprets laws and resolves disputes in Wyoming?

• A. Judicial
• B. Legislative
• C. Executive
• D. Municipal

Answer: (A)

Interpreting laws and resolving disputes is the Judicial branch. Its main job is to apply statutes and the Wyoming Constitution to real cases, deciding civil, criminal, and administrative matters. Courts interpret what the laws mean, how they should be applied, and whether actions by the other branches or by governments are constitutional. This creates a system of checks and balances so laws are enforced properly and rights are protected. The Legislative branch makes the laws, the Executive enforces them, and Municipal refers to local city or town governments—not a separate state branch. So the Judicial branch is the one that interprets laws and settles disputes.
