Should a dispute arise within a state regarding a law related to education, the body charged with the power to decide on the reasonableness of the law is the ______.

• A. State court
• B. State legislature
• C. Governor
• D. Supreme Court

Answer: (A)

When a dispute arises about whether a state education law is reasonable, the authority to decide rests with the judiciary—the state's court system. Courts interpret laws and check them against the state constitution to determine if they are permissible and fair. The legislature creates laws, and the governor enforces them, but deciding if a law is reasonable or constitutional is the court’s role. While the state’s highest court (often the state supreme court) may ultimately rule on the matter on appeal, the general body charged with this duty is the state court system.
