Who writes or passes laws?

Laws are primarily written and proposed by legislators, who are elected officials in government bodies such as Congress in the United States or parliaments in other countries. These proposed laws, known as bills, undergo a series of debates, revisions, and votes before they can be passed. Once a bill is approved by the legislative body, it is sent to the executive branch (such as the president or governor) for approval or veto. Additionally, some laws can be initiated by citizens through ballot initiatives or referenda.
