Examining and evaluating the creation of laws in the, United States of America. Laws have existed since the beginning of civilization. The majority of laws have binds to the spiritual beliefs, and even in the United States the ten commandants are etched on the wall behind the bench of the U.S. Supreme Court (Snyder, 2012). .

In the United States, laws are made at different levels, usually in connection with a governmental entity (Snyder, 2012). Cities, counties, states and federal government all make laws. At the legislative level, laws are created through Congress and or state legislative body (Snyder, 2012). However, the President of the United States could also utilize an executive order to create a law. Laws usually begin as an idea or an issue, and at the city and county laws it can begin as an idea or discussion at a city council meeting and county commission meeting. The proposed law is usually read once, and then a date is set for public input and debate (Snyder, 2012). Laws often times incorporate a date for which it will be enacted. Nevertheless, a state's laws are created by a state governing body, whether it is a legislature or governing body. Before a bill is presented into law it usually begins with an idea or issue it is then introduced to the governing body. .

Any Lawmaker can add an amendment to a bill, although in most states they have requirements that an amendment must be related in some way to the concerning the original reason of the bill. Federal laws were invented and passed in the same way state laws were created. On the Federal level, a bill becomes a law if the President of the United States signs it.
On the other hand it can also become a law without the President's signature if it is not signed within ten days. However, the President can also deliberately decide not to sign or veto the law completely. A "pocket veto " occurs if Congress adjourns before the ten days, and the president has not signed the bill (Snyder, 2012).
