Legislation

Legislation refers to the process of making or enacting laws by a governing body, such as a parliament or congress. It involves the drafting, proposal, discussion, and approval of laws that govern a specific jurisdiction. Legislation can encompass a wide range of legal rules and regulations, including statutes, ordinances, and resolutions, which are formulated to address social issues, establish rights and obligations, and regulate behavior within society. The process typically includes multiple stages, including introduction, committee review, debates, amendments, and voting. Once a piece of legislation is passed by the legislative body, it often requires approval or ratification by another authority, such as an executive branch leader, before becoming law.
