Korean Area Studies Practice Test

Which of the following is not a primary branch of government?

Executive Judicial Legislative Administrative

Correct Answer:

Administrative

Explanation:

Think about how most constitutional governments structure power: three branches with distinct, sovereign roles. The legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces them, and the judicial branch interprets them. Administrative work—the day-to-day running of government agencies, implementing regulations, and delivering public services—belongs to the civil service and regulatory bodies within that system. These agencies operate under the authority of the executive and are subject to oversight and checks from the other branches, but they don’t form a separate constitutional branch with independent power to legislate, adjudicate, or command. So, administrative describes the bureaucracy, not a primary branch with its own constitutional powers.
