"Government" does not have any external authority to make laws; the only authority it has is the rule of force.
Within the United States of America, governmental authority comes from the Constitution of the United States, which lists 18 specific "enumerated powers". Living within the United States is an implicit acceptance of the rules embodied within the Constitution; if you don't accept the Constitution, you're free to leave and go elsewhere.
The government has the authority to enforce laws and regulations to maintain order in society.
The people with authority to make and enforce laws are typically legislators and executive officials, such as members of a parliament or congress and the president or prime minister. To manage disputes about laws, judicial officials, such as judges and courts, have the authority to interpret and apply the law to resolve legal conflicts.
the Government makes the laws for us
Make and enforce the laws necessary to make the free-market system work properly
A State
Life in America would be very chaotic if the government could not make people obey the laws. Since people would not obey people of authority, they would do whatever they wanted and there would be no order anywhere.
i think they get authority from the constitution
legislature
Politicians, legislators, and government officials are responsible for making laws. These individuals are elected or appointed to represent the interests of the people in a democracy and have the authority to create, amend, and repeal laws through legislative processes.
A super legislature in a government system typically has the authority to make and pass laws that apply to the entire country or region. It serves as the highest legislative body, with the power to create and amend laws, oversee government actions, and represent the interests of the people.
A government in which people elect delegates to make laws is a Representative Government.
Basically the government (the executive) proposes laws and the parliament debates/amends them then votes on them to make them laws of the land. The government is answerable to parliament because it is in parliament that the people's authority has been placed by the electoral/democratic process.
