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).
The framers of our Constitution intentionally created a strong federal government made from three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. The United States Supreme Court serves as the judicial branch and was created through Article III. The Supreme Court serves as the highest court in the nation and has the final, or supreme, say. The Supreme Court settles disputes involving new laws and rules on the constitutionality of laws.
