What can a legislature do in making law that a court can not do in making precedents?
A legislature can create new laws, amend existing laws, or repeal laws through the legislative process, whereas a court can only interpret existing laws and create legal precedents based on those interpretations. Legislatures can also adapt laws to changing societal needs or values, while courts are constrained by the laws that are in place.
