How Laws Are Made

Grade 3 · Social Studies · Rights, Responsibilities, and Government · Prince Edward Island, Canada

Lesson Summary

Laws are rules made by the government that everyone must follow to keep the community safe and fair.

Explanation

Laws start as ideas. When people in a community see a problem, they can ask their government leaders to create a new rule. The leaders discuss the idea, make changes, and vote on it. If enough leaders agree, the idea becomes a law. Laws cover things like traffic rules, building safety, and protecting the environment. Everyone must follow laws, and there are consequences for breaking them.
