A legislator, or lawmaker, is a person who and ratification , especially someone who is a member of a legislature. Legislators are often election by the voter, but they can be appointed, or inheritance. Legislatures may be supra-national (for example, the European Parliament), national, such as the Japanese Diet, sub-national as in provinces, or local government.
In continental European jurisprudence and legal discussion, "the legislator" ( le législateur) is the abstract entity that has produced the laws. When there is room for interpretation, the intent of the legislator will be questioned, and the court is directed to rule in the direction it judges to best fit the legislative intent, which can be difficult in the case of conflicting laws or constitutional provisions.
