Legislative Process
The legislative process is how laws are made in a government. It typically begins with a proposal, called a bill, introduced by a legislator. The bill is reviewed and debated in committees, where details are examined and modifications can be made. After that, it goes to the full legislative body for discussion and voting. If passed, the bill may go to another chamber for approval. Once both chambers agree, it is sent to the executive (like the president or governor) for final approval. If signed, it becomes law; if vetoed, the legislature may try to override the veto under certain conditions.

The legislative process is how laws are made. It typically begins when a proposal, known as a bill, is introduced by a member of the legislature. The bill goes through various stages: it is debated, amended, and voted on in both houses of the legislature (like the House and Senate in the U.S.). If it passes both houses, it is sent to the executive (like the president or governor) for approval or veto. Once approved, the bill becomes law. This process ensures discussion, revision, and representation of various viewpoints before a law is enacted.
