Question 11 • WA-Washington State History IC

What is the main reason Washington’s Supreme Court is so important?

Answer
A
It writes the laws that state officials are required to obey.
B
It is the highest court in the judicial branch of government.
C
It runs the departments and agencies that meet citizens’ needs.
D
It carries out the state’s laws once they have been enacted.

Explanation

Washington’s Supreme Court is the highest court in the state’s judicial branch, so its decisions are the final state-court rulings on legal questions. Writing laws is the legislature’s role, while running agencies and enforcing laws are executive-branch responsibilities. Therefore, the correct choice is “It is the highest court in the judicial branch of government.”
