The elected politicians can propose new laws or '''bills'''. A bill is what a law is called before it becomes a law. These bills are debated in order to decide whether or not they should become laws. The goal of the debate is to explore all possible effects of a bill, both good and bad. After the debate there is a vote. If the majority of our elected representatives vote for the bill, it can become a law. | The elected politicians can propose new laws or '''bills'''.
