Show answer and explanation
✓ El poder judicial
The third power of the State is the judicial power, made up of judges and magistrates, who apply the laws and settle conflicts. The other two are the legislative (Cortes Generales, the Spanish parliament, which make the laws) and the executive (the Government, which applies them and directs policy). The Constitution separates them so that none has all the power. Trick: the legislative makes the law, the executive carries it out and the judicial judges.
