Legislation is the process of making or enacting laws by a governing body, such as a parliament or congress. It involves the formulation, debate, and approval of proposed laws (bills) that govern a society’s conduct, rights, and responsibilities. Legislation can cover various areas, including civil rights, environmental policy, taxation, and criminal law.
