In the US, there isn't a branch of government assigned specifically with deciding "the meaning of laws."
The legislative branch, or Congress, creates new laws and passes them into being.
The executive branch, the president and his appointed staff and agencies, execute the laws passed by Congress.
And in the case of conflict or argument about the laws, the judicial branch sits in judgment over the laws, to see that they are in keeping with the Constitution.

The judicial branch <-------Apex;)
The judicial branch interprets the meaning of laws, applies laws to individual cases, and decides if laws violate the Constitution. The judicial branch is comprised of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
Oh, dude, that would be the judicial branch. They're like the referees of the government, making sure everyone plays by the rules laid out in the constitution. So, if a law steps out of line, the judicial branch is there to blow the whistle and say, "Nah, that's a foul, back to the drawing board."
