Deputies Of Malatya
A legislator, or lawmaker, is a person who writes and passes laws, especially someone who is a member of a legislature. Legislators are often elected by the people, but they can be appointed, or hereditary. Legislatures may be supra-national (for example, the European Parliament), national, such as the Japanese Diet, sub-national as in provinces, or local.

In continental European jurisprudence and legal discussion, "the legislator" (') is the abstract entity that has produced the laws. When there is room for int ...
