Legislation refers to the process through which laws are created and enacted by governing bodies, such as parliaments or congresses. It involves drafting, debating, and voting on proposed laws, known as bills, which can address a wide range of issues from public health to economic policy. Once a bill is approved by the legislative body, it is sent to the executive branch for approval or veto. Successful legislation becomes law and is enforced by various government agencies. This process is crucial for maintaining order and addressing the needs of society.
