There is no place without laws in the world. Even though they are not much important, it help society works in a safe and proper way. Laws are always related to our daily life but we don't quite care about the process of law making. In Korea, to make laws, there need to be three main processes: writing bills, debating and voting, and approval.
A bill begins with an idea, which can come from anyone. Each branch of government, congressmen and general public can make suggestion. Before writing a bill, there need to be a kind of hearing that discusses whether it deserves to be a law or not. During that process, stakeholders and general people put their heads together and talk over the idea fully. After that, a bill is written and sent to Congress.
After being introduced to the rest of the members of Congress, the members start to debate the bill, then vote on whether it should become a law or not using the electronic voting system. For being passed, a bill has to be decided by majority votes of present congressmen. However, it is not easy for them to pass the bill. Because a wrong decision can make society messed up and confuse people. Therefore, there need to be in-depth discussion about the bill.
Once being passed in the congress, it is sent to the President for approval. If President signs the bill, it is a law. Now that the bill has become a law, it is a rule that all the people must follow. However it can have problems during practicing. This means that a law can be amended if it does not work properly.
To make a law, there need to be three main processes, which are writing a bill, debating and voting, and approval. Even though we want to make a simple law, it takes a lot of effort and time and especially nobody knows how much it affects society and people. Consequently, people need to take more interest in participating in the process of making laws.
