Show answer and explanation
✓ El poder legislativo
The laws are made by the legislative power, that is, the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament: Congreso and Senado). The executive power, the Government, applies the laws and can issue regulations, and the judicial power, the judges, interprets them in trials. The separation of powers prevents a single person or institution from having all the control. Trick: "legislative" shares a root with law, Latin "legis".
