Royal Ascent

Royal Assent is the formal approval given by a monarch (or their representative) to a bill passed by the legislature, making it an official law. In countries like the UK and Canada, once a bill receives Royal Assent, it becomes law and is enforceable. This step is largely ceremonial today but signifies the final approval needed for legislation to take effect. It ensures that the legislative process is complete before a bill becomes a formally recognized law within the country’s legal system.
