Subject : How are laws make in your native country?

 

Do you know what happened on Wednesday three weeks ago in Korea? It was a formal holiday temporarily. Why? It was the Local Council Election.. This day, we elected for members of local council who represent our opinion. It is similar with the National Assembly which makes laws in our country, Korea. Once, you may wonder how to constitute our laws that regulate our doings. I will explain you how laws are being made in our native country, Korea. There are two ways to make laws. The laws are enacted by Administration or Assembly under the Constitution. When people feel needs of new act, they require it by many ways. So, in congress, it is discussed whether the laws are needed or not and how to make it. And then, the Act is made, it will be proclaimed.

The government can require legislating because they often feel necessity of new law's appearance and Constitution empower them the right. First, when the responsible divisions feel necessity of new act, they write draft and discuss it involved departments. Next, they turned it in the office of legislation, the cabinet conference and president in order. Finally, when the act is passed by assembly, it leaves the last progress that President claims the new act. And then, after few days, it will work.

When congressman prepares the legislating, in the past, he generally wrote draft of it by himself or asked to expert. Naturally, only Congress has lawmaking power because they are representative of the public, But, the more complex and the more globalize the society is, the judiciary committee take chare of the many parts and many congressmen demand of helps. The formal processes are below.

At first, when a member of the national assembly proposes a bill, he must earn the agreement of more than 10 congressmen by due process of the national assembly law. Second, Introduced bill is judged by committee in congress. And then, it will be sent to a plenary session. Lastly, if it is passed, it will have effect after president's agreement and announcement. Unless president approves the act, it can be back to the assembly.

 Under the constitution, we have formal procedure to enact the bills. Lawmaking is very important so that it is complex. The legislation can be done by both administration and assembly. As you know, both of them have many discussions and evaluations and legislating is not easy process. In democracy society, we elect our representatives directly so that lawmaking course is not far from us. So we'd better be interested in the procedure.
