What name is given to a law before it is passed by parilment?

Answer 1

Before a law is passed it is called a "bill". Bills are identified by the letter of the House of Congress in which it is being considered and the order in which it has been introduced from the beginning of the session of Congress. For example a bill entitled S-1, is the first proposed law introduced in the Senate in that session.

In Canada a proposed law is called a Bill until Parliament decides either to pass it into law or vote it down.

Answer 2

It is usually called a "bill" before it is passed and while it is pending in the Congress or the state legislature.

If it is law, then it is law. In science hypothesis are made and later developed into theories that if proven become law. In politics, many will argue that laws are made not discovered. This is a fallacious argument as all common laws that have existed since time immemorial are laws because they are laws, not because they are written. Even so, Congress will propose legislation, the people will endeavor to place propositions on the ballot and people everywhere will look scornfully at what they don't like, shake their heads in disgust and grumble; "There ought to be a law."

If it is not a law yet it is called a bill, when bills pass they become laws.
