This is a law written by the legislative branch of government?

Answer 1

A law that has been written by the Legislative branch of Government (be it Congress in the United States or the House of Commons in Canada or the United Kingdom) is called a 'Bill'.

In Canada, the Bill is labelled if it has been written in Commons with the letter 'C', in front of its number. In contrast, as Bill raised and passed in the Senate is labelled, 'S' and then the number. (For example, a Commons bill regarding prosecution of marijuana trafficking would be known as C-138, but if it were raised in Senate, S-183).

Answer 2

Laws in the United States begin as bills proposed to House Representatives from everyday people. The Representative then has the decision on wether to carry it into the legislative brach or not. The same bill is given to both the Senate and the House, then edited to suit both their likings. While this may or may not be entirely accurate, it is a basic description.
