Abstract


The legislative process in Afghanistan, which is a thorough and multi-phase process with roots in both historical and modern frameworks, is examined in this paper. To guarantee efficient governance and social fairness, the Afghan legal system integrates ideas from Islamic jurisprudence and constitutional law. Drafting, review, approval, endorsement, publication, deadline, and enforcement are all steps in the process that are intended to create laws that meet both domestic and global requirements. From Amir Shir Ali Khan's rule to the organized processes of the current National Assembly, Afghanistan's legislative process has undergone substantial changes over the years. Every step of the legislative process ensures compliance with the Constitution and Islamic Sharia by addressing particular-legal, social, and administrative issues. The paper identifies the legislative system's shortcomings and accomplishments and offers recommendations for enhancing the law-making process to promote good governance and the rule of law.
