The term for the power to execute and implement the law is "executive." This branch of government is responsible for enforcing laws, overseeing the administration of government functions, and managing public policies. The executive branch is typically led by a president or prime minister, who has the authority to ensure that laws passed by the legislative branch are put into action. This role includes implementing laws, managing government agencies, and conducting foreign affairs.

In contrast, the judicial branch interprets the laws and determines their constitutionality, while the legislative branch is tasked with creating and enacting laws. The administrative aspect often refers to the processes and procedures involved in carrying out executive functions but does not encompass the overarching power that the executive branch holds in law execution. Thus, the designation of the executive branch as the body responsible for executing and implementing the law is foundational to the structure of governance.
