The legislative branch. Here is how it works: The legislative branch makes laws. The Senate and House of Representatives are both part of Congress, which is part of the legis â¦ lative branch. The executive branch enforces the laws and vetoes them. The president is part of the executive branch. Finally, the judicial branch judges people who break the law.
A century (from the Latin centum, meaning one hundred; abbreviated c.) is 100 years. Centuries are numbered ordinally in the English language along with many others (e.g. the 7th century AD/CE).
A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, but century years are not leap years unless they are divisible by 400. So, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was, which is why in a given 100 years, there are 24 leap years and 76 ordinary years. Why Do We Need Leap Years? The actual length of a year (the revolution of Earth around the Sun) is 365.2422 days. If we didn't have leap years, the seasons would shift about a quarter of a day every year, and after 100 years the seasons would be off by 25 days. The extra leap day adjusts this drift. it is divisible by 400.
