Who has the power to interpret and apply laws in the United States?

  1. President.

  2. Supreme Court.

  3. Congress.

  4. State governors.

The correct answer is: Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is responsible for interpreting and applying laws in the United States. The President is in charge of enforcing laws, but does not have the power to interpret them. Congress is responsible for making laws, not interpreting them. State governors are responsible for enforcing state laws, but do not have the authority to interpret federal laws. Therefore, the Supreme Court is the only choice that accurately matches the question.
