If you are talking United States governance, the Legislative Branch creates law.

US Federal Law is created by Congress, which is both the House of Representatives and the Senate taken together.

State Law is created by the individual State legislatures. Cities have city councils (some use different names) that do the same thing. Each have the basic 'branches' of executive, legislative, and judicial but they are called different things at each level.
