Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The Italian noun 'legge' translates to 'law' in English. It refers to a set of rules or regulations that are established by a governing authority and enforced within a particular jurisdiction. Laws are designed to maintain order, protect rights, and govern the behavior of individuals and organizations.
In Italy, the legal system is based on civil law, which means that laws are primarily derived from written statutes rather than judicial decisions. The legislative power is vested in the Parliament, which consists of two houses: the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The process of creating new laws involves drafting, debating, and voting on proposed legislation.
Leggi can cover a wide range of subjects, including criminal law, civil law, administrative law, constitutional law, and more. They can address various aspects of society such as crime and punishment, property rights, contracts, employment regulations, taxation, environmental protection, and human rights.
