The study of legislative procedures and parliamentary functioning is critical to understanding how laws are formulated, debated, and enacted within a governmental framework. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the legislative process, from the introduction of bills to their passage and implementation, focusing on the various stages involved, including committee reviews, debates, voting procedures, and the role of the executive. It also examines the functioning of parliamentary systems, highlighting the interplay between different branches of government, the influence of political parties, and the mechanisms of accountability and oversight. Through a comparative approach, the paper analyzes parliamentary practices in different countries, shedding light on the commonalities and divergences in legislative procedures. The study aims to provide insights into the efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness of parliamentary functioning, and offers recommendations for enhancing legislative processes to better serve democratic governance.
