New legislation (laws) are introduced by members of the senate or the house of representatives.

Senate
Common laws can only be made by the federal government. Only if the legal legislation is passed by both upper and lowers houses and by the senate.
The hopper is the box on the senate or house floor where new legislation--or amendments to previous proposed legislation--is turned into the cloak room. Modernly, documents are filed electronically.
The Senate NEVER has the exclusive right to introduce legislation. The House of Representatives has the exclusive right to introduce legislation on bills regarding the raising, and spending, of money (e.g. the yearly federal budget, and laws about adjusting taxes). If it is not about money, both houses can introduce it at their own whim.
The ruler's new legislative powers enabled him to pass laws concerning civil affairs where as previously that task had been reserved for the senate.
The Senate along with the House of Representatives is responsible for creating new laws. Senators must vote on bills before they become laws.
Legislation is written by elected officials such as members of Congress or parliament. They can introduce bills, which are proposals for new laws, and work with staff, legal experts, and stakeholders to draft the language of the legislation. Once finalized, the bill is introduced for debate, amendments, and ultimately, a vote.
Such laws are ALWAYS being proposed. As for anything currently on the House or Senate floor, I'm unable to find any pending legislation.
A Congress can repeal legislation like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by passing a new law that explicitly nullifies the existing law, which requires a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The President can then sign this legislation into law. Alternatively, Congress can use budget reconciliation to expedite the repeal process, allowing certain provisions to be repealed with a simple majority in the Senate. Additionally, the Supreme Court may also invalidate laws if they are deemed unconstitutional, but this is a judicial rather than legislative process.
The Athenians had a direct democracy. This meant that all Athenian citizens were able to vote on new legislation and laws.
