It serves as our society's guidelines, ensuring order and fairness by providing clear rules that everyone can follow for a well-functioning legal system. Legislation is like making important rules for a whole country. Imagine it as a list of

LEGISLATION AS A SOURCE OF LAW: Legislation serves as a crucial source of law, providing rules and regulations that guide a society. It involves the creation of laws by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress, through a formal process. These laws are designed to address various issues, from ensuring public safety to defining individual rights. Legislators propose, debate, and vote on laws, which, once approved, become part of the legal framework. 9. KINDS OF LEGISLATION/SALMOND’S CLASSIFICATION: According to Salmond there are two kinds of Legislation. • Supreme Legislation. • Sub-ordinate Legislation. 10. SUPREME LEGISLATION: • According to Black’s law dictionary: “Legislation that derives directly from the supreme or sovereign power in a state and therefore incapable of being repealed, annulled, or controlled by any other legislative authority.” Explanation: Supreme legislation is the highest set of rules that govern a country, acting as the ultimate authority. It includes the constitution and laws that guide how a nation operates. It is the expression of legislative will of a supreme legislative authority. In Pakistan National assembly, in China and America Congress, and the British parliament are true sovereign law making bodies because there are no external restraint on their absolute authority. 11. SUB-ORDINATE LEGISLATION:
• According to Black’s Law Dictionary: “Legislation that derives from any authority other than the sovereign power in a state and that therefore depends for its continued existence and validity on some superior or supreme authority.” • CASE LAW: Hukam Chand vs Union of India. • HELD: It was held that a sovereign legislature has power to enact law and a subordinate legislation has to act with in the limit of power delegated to it. • EXPLANATION: Subordinate legislation refers to rules and regulations made by authorities under powers granted by a primary law. It helps in detailed decision-making and implementation of laws. Think of it like instructions given by a teacher to a student, guiding them on how to follow the main lesson. Subordinate legislation adds specific details to ensure smooth application of the main law. • EXAMPLE: In Pakistan, an example of subordinate legislation is the issuance of traffic rules by the local traffic police department.
