Abstract

Legislation or is the process or act or process of making laws. Legislative law is the law that has been enacted by the legislature and describes the legal requirements, as well as the punishments that are given when the laws are violated (Babanina, 2018). The legislation covers several parts and aspects of the society, for example, land, animal and human rights, use of public property, et cetera (Aleksynska, 2016). Legislation can be in the form of bills, joint resolutions, simple resolutions, and concurrent resolutions, where bills are the most common (Davis, 2016). Bills vary and can be public or private, general or special, permanent or temporary (Finkelman, 2020). Considering whether the bill is private or public, it affects all the citizens (or the public) if it is public. However, a private bill only affects a specified individual, organization, or private party (Finkelman, 2020). Joint, concurrent, and simple resolutions are the other types of legislation. They all have different purposes, such as protecting the rights of the citizens and other emerging issues that either the Senate or House of Representatives need to address (Belew, 2019). A bill is only passed and becomes law if two-thirds of the votes are for it, and the president approves the bill. However, the joint resolution does not need presidential approval so long as two-thirds of the members of both houses approve the bill (Parliament, 2016). This journal discusses the importance of legislation and legislative laws in the modern era.
