The executive branch, led by the president, is responsible for proposing legislation to the legislative branch.

Government bills are legislative proposals introduced by the executive branch.

A government bill goes through several stages before becoming law, including introduction, first reading, second reading, committee stage, report stage, third reading, and Royal Assent.

In most parliamentary systems, a cabinet minister is responsible for introducing government bills in the legislature.

The first reading of a government bill is a formal introduction of the bill to the legislature.

The second reading of a government bill focuses on debating the bill's overall principles and whether it should proceed to the next stage.

The committee stage is a crucial step in the legislative process where the bill is reviewed in detail, amendments are proposed, and a vote is taken on the bill's passage.

After passing the committee stage, a government bill proceeds to the report stage, where any amendments made in the committee stage are considered and voted on.

The third reading of a government bill is the final opportunity for debate on the bill's merits before a vote is taken on its passage.

The final step in the legislative process for a government bill is Royal Assent, where the head of state (e.g., the monarch or president) formally approves the bill, making it law.

The opposition plays a crucial role in the legislative process by scrutinizing government bills, proposing amendments, voting against bills they disagree with, and introducing their own legislative proposals.

The key difference between a government bill and a private member's bill is who introduces them: government bills are introduced by the executive branch, while private member's bills are introduced by individual legislators.

The legislative branch is responsible for approving or rejecting legislation proposed by the executive branch.

The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting legislation and resolving disputes related to its application.

Public participation in the legislative process is essential for ensuring government accountability, allowing citizens to express their views, and improving the quality of legislation.
