What is a "statute"?
A statute is a written law enacted by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. It establishes legal rules and regulations that must be followed within a particular area or region. Statutes are created through a formal process of drafting, debating, and voting, and they address various aspects of public and private life, including criminal conduct, civil rights, and administrative procedures. Once passed, a statute has the force of law and must be adhered to by individuals and institutions within the area it governs.
