Which article establishes the executive branch?

• A. Article 3
• B. Article 4
• C. Article 5
• D. Article 2

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how the government is organized and where the power to enforce laws is defined. In this constitution, the article that lays out the structure of government and specifies who holds executive authority establishes the executive branch. It creates the office of the governor and other executive officers and describes how they are chosen, their terms, and their duties—such as veto power and appointment authority—which defines the executive as a distinct branch of government. The other articles focus on the legislative and judicial branches, not on creating the executive.
