Legislation is there to ensure that society runs properly. Legislation is essentially what the government administration is there for - to ensure that society runs smoothly and that the people are protected. Naturally, under the government administration there are many different departments and agencies, but it's down to legislation to ensure that there are rules.

In the United States, there is a separation of powers. These powers include the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. The judiciary judges whether people stick to the legislation, the legislature creates the legislation and the executive (the Presidency) governs. These three powers work together to ensure that legislation is monitored, scrutinized, debated and really considered before it is implemented.

Without law, there would be no reason for some people to remain as 'decent' or 'good' people. There would be people out there who would steal without a second's thought, or rape people without even feeling guilty. Legislation ensures that the people who continue to do these horrible things are caught and punished, and is also there to ensure that people are put off and discouraged from doing these things.

Why are they put in place? To help you remain safe. Of course there are many benefits to putting laws in place, but they are initially there to protect the people. The government is there to protect the people and act in favor of the people. That is why laws are there.

Laws, too, are a reflection of what the people want. Different parties represent different opinions, and depending on the size of a party in the administration and in Congress, different opinions will mean different votes. So of course, the feeling of the nation overall will be reflected in the laws that are passed in the United States legislature.
