In the exam (French)
Quel pouvoir détient un juge ? Le pouvoir :
- aExecutive powerexécutif
- bJudicial powerjudiciaireCorrect answer
- cLegislative powerlégislatif
- dRegulatory powerréglementaire
Why?
A judge exercises judicial power: they settle conflicts and decide on penalties by applying the law. They are independent of legislative power (Parliament, which passes laws) and of executive power (the President and the government, who enforce them). Regulatory power, the power to issue decrees, belongs to the executive.
