in a representative government what group has power to make laws

1 answer

In a representative government, the power to make laws is typically vested in a legislative body, which is usually composed of elected representatives. These representatives are chosen by the electorate to advocate for their interests and make decisions on their behalf. The specific structure and function of this legislative body can vary depending on the country or political system, but it generally includes a bicameral or unicameral assembly where proposed laws (bills) are debated, amended, and voted on before becoming law.
