1. Explain how a bill becomes a law:
A bill is an idea for a new law or an idea to change or do away with an existing law hundreds of bills enter the legislative process each time the legislature meets. two groups of elected citizens senators and delegates study discuss and vote on bills and in doing so act for the people. bills enter the legislative process either through the house of delegates or the senate but to become laws bills must pass both chambers and avoid a governors veto.
