In Arkansas, a new state law can be proposed by:
- **a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives**
- **a member of the Arkansas Senate**
Therefore, the correct selections are:
- a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives
- a member of the Arkansas Senate
The governor can suggest or advocate for new laws, but they do not have the formal power to introduce legislation directly. A private citizen can initiate a law through a petition process or by advocating for legislative change, but they cannot directly propose a law. The lieutenant governor can influence legislation but does not have formal authority to introduce bills in the Senate.
