American Government CLEP Prep Practice Exam

Which branch of government has the power to approve or reject treaties in the United States?

1. Executive branch.

2. Legislative branch.

3. Judicial branch.

4. State governments.

The correct answer is: Legislative branch.

The executive branch, option A, primarily has the power to negotiate and sign treaties, but the final approval must come from the legislative branch. The judicial branch, option C, does not have the power to approve or reject treaties. State governments, option D, do not have the authority to make decisions about treaties at the national level. Therefore, the legislative branch, option B, is the only correct answer as it is specifically responsible for approving or rejecting treaties in the United States.
