Question

Select the functions of state courts. to interpret the meaning of laws to make the laws to enforce the laws to pardon individuals who have reformed to punish those who break the laws

Answer 1

Among the functions listed above, those which correspond to functions of state courts are the following:

• To interpret the meaning of the laws
• To punish those who break the laws

In the first place, courts are one of the three state powers, the judiciary. They are in charge of interpreting what is stated in the laws in order to make decisions, within the framework  judicial processes. Generally there is a dispute and their job is to conclude who is right or who is guilty and needs to receive a punishment, not according to their will but based on what is said in the law.

In opposition, making jobs is the job of the legislative power (Parliament) and enforcing them is the job of the executive power (Goverment). These are the other two state powers.

Granting pardon to those who have reformed is a step that in any case comes after a legal punishment for a bad conduct, and it has to be awarded by the rest of the society.
