Which entity is responsible for enforcing local ordinances?

• A. Local governments
• B. The Supreme Court
• C. Federal agencies
• D. The United Nations

Answer: (A)

Local ordinances are rules created by city or county governments to govern daily life in a community. They are enforced by those same local governments through police, code enforcement officers, and other local agencies. The Supreme Court interprets laws and settles disputes, not to enforce them. Federal agencies enforce federal laws across the country, not local rules, and the United Nations has no authority to enforce a city or county’s ordinances. So the entity responsible for enforcing local ordinances is local governments.
