Each branch of government creates a type of law. 1  Statutory law is enacted by the legislative branch; these statutes set forth the public policy that the elected legislators want to pursue. Often statutes provide general direction on how the executive branch should implement the statutory laws (public policy).
Federal and State Legislative Branches. The legislative branch is one of three divisions of government that works in conjunction with the executive and judicial branches. Its main responsibility is the creation of laws. The United States Constitution outlines the powers of the legislative branch, Congress, which is divided into two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. 49 states have a bicameral (two-house) legislature that is similar to the federal legislature.
