It practices who makes, carries out and judges laws at each level — 2 questions for Grade 3 to Grade 5, all on C3 Framework D2.Civ.1.3-5: Tell apart what officials at different levels of government can and cannot do. The instruction to students is “Draw a line from each job to the office or body that does it”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
