Legislation refers to the process of making or enacting laws, as well as the body of laws that have been formally approved by a legislative body. It involves the drafting, proposing, debating, and voting on laws or statutes that govern a society or organization. Legislation can originate from various sources, including elected representatives, government officials, or citizen initiatives.
