what is legislation

Legislation is the process of preparing and enacting laws by a legislative body through its lawmaking process. It involves the evaluation, amendment, and voting on proposed laws, ultimately leading to the creation of new laws or the modification of existing ones. The legislative process typically begins with the introduction of a bill, which is then debated, amended, and voted on by the members of the legislature. Once a bill is enacted, it becomes an act or statute. The executive branch often participates in the legislative process, and its concurrence is usually required to make legislation effective. The courts also play a role in interpreting legislation and determining its constitutionality. All legislative power in the government is vested in the legislative body, which is the only part of the government that can create or modify laws
