Legislation refers to the process of making or enacting laws by a governing body, such as a parliament or congress. It involves the creation, modification, or repeal of laws that govern the behavior of individuals and organizations within a jurisdiction. Legislation can take various forms, including statutes, regulations, and ordinances. The process typically includes drafting a proposed law (often called a bill), discussions and negotiations among lawmakers, and voting before it is signed into law by an executive authority, such as a president or governor. Legislation serves to establish legal standards, protect rights, promote justice, and address societal issues, thereby influencing public policy and the functioning of society.
