Summarize legislative tasks and the overall role of the judiciary in shaping public policy.?

The legislative branch main task is to create laws. They use various departments to gather information in order to determine what the effects of bills will be and if it is a realistic solution to the problems. The judicial branch shapes public policy through court cases. Cl-Action Suits are the most effective for shaping public policy because they affect a large number of people. Basically, a single court case can change public policy forever, such as Brown v. Board of Education, which ended school segregation in 1954.
