| | Legislation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Legislation (or "statutory law") is law which has been promulgated (or "enacted") by a legislature or other governing body. | | | The interpretation of law by the executive branch or the judiciary has been contended by some to be law-making, particularly when the judicial branch must address laws that appear to conflict (such as constitutional and statutory law). | | | The term may refer to a single law, or the collective body of enacted law, while "statute" is also used to refer to a single law. |
