Asked in International Law and Municipal Law

Q: Can I find the considerations and analysis public officials did before creating or modifying a law?

What factors did they take into consideration and the effects the law would have on the population or intended target.

I mean actually seeing the information o a law by law (including changes) basis.

A: If you are a student and are doing this as research, you could look into the lawmaking process on various different levels. On the federal level, you could look at the process of how legislation is created - how a bill is introduced, assigned to committees, debated on the floor, and how it could ultimately become a law. You could also look into it on state and municipal government levels, in terms of state senates of city councils, etc. Good luck
