What does the judicial branch do? (65/20 version)

The judicial branch reviews and explains the laws — it interprets the laws, resolves disputes, and decides whether laws agree with the Constitution. Any of these is an acceptable answer on this 65/20 civics question. The judicial branch is headed by the Supreme Court. By contrast, the legislative branch (Congress) makes laws and the executive branch (the President) enforces them. Through judicial review, the courts can determine whether a law or government action is constitutional. Understanding the judicial branch's role in interpreting the law is core system-of-government content.
