Legislation

Legislation refers to the process of making or enacting laws by a governing body, such as a parliament or legislature. It involves the drafting, discussion, amendment, and approval of proposed laws, known as bills. Once a bill is approved by the legislative body and signed by the executive (such as a president or governor), it becomes law. Legislation serves to establish rules, regulations, and policies that govern the behavior of individuals, organizations, and institutions within a jurisdiction. It can address various issues, including civil rights, public safety, economic regulations, and environmental protection. Legislation is a foundational element of democratic governance, enabling elected representatives to create legal frameworks that reflect the values and needs of society.
