Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strongest branch of the government prior to the New Deal and in line with the intention of the Constitution's framers was the legislative branch, as it was given the power to make laws and decisions that shaped the country's destiny. The executive branch, while powerful, was meant to carry out the laws made by the legislative branch, and the judiciary only had the power to interpret the laws made by Congress. County governments were not a branch of the federal government and therefore do not pertain to the question.
