16.聯(lián)邦法律由誰(shuí)制定？
Answer: Congress; Senate and House (of Representatives); (U.S. or national) legislature
答案：國(guó)會(huì)；參議院與眾議院；（美國(guó)或國(guó)家）立法機(jī)構(gòu)
Explanation: Making a federal (or national) law in the United States is a complex (or complicated and not simple) process that takes a lot of time.
解釋?zhuān)?/strong>美國(guó)制定聯(lián)邦（或國(guó)家）法律是一個(gè)既耗時(shí)又復(fù)雜的過(guò)程。
This is good, because it means that the laws can't be easily changed.
這是有好處的，因?yàn)檫@樣法律就不容易發(fā)生改變。
New laws can be made only when a lot of people agree that they are a good idea.
只有當(dāng)很多人都認(rèn)為新法律可行時(shí)才能制定它。
Federal (or national) laws can be made only by the national legislature (or the part of the government that makes laws), which is known as Congress.
聯(lián)邦（或國(guó)家）法律只能由國(guó)家立法機(jī)構(gòu)，也被稱(chēng)為國(guó)會(huì)制定。
Congress is a bicameral legislature, meaning that it has two chambers (or parts).
國(guó)會(huì)是兩院制立法機(jī)構(gòu)，意思是它有兩個(gè)議院（或部分）。
The two parts are the Senate and the House of Representatives.
這兩個(gè)部分分別是參議院和眾議院。
The Senate and the House are equal partners, meaning that they have the same amount of power.
參議院和眾議院是平等的伙伴，意思是它們的權(quán)力相等。
A law cannot be enacted (or created) without the consent (or agreement) of both chambers.
沒(méi)有兩院的批準(zhǔn)，法律就不能被通過(guò)。
When people want to create a new law, they speak with their senator or representative, who will then write a bill, which is a proposal or an idea for a new law.
當(dāng)有人想創(chuàng)立新法律的時(shí)候，他們與參議員或眾議員溝通，然后議員撰寫(xiě)議案，議案也就是提議或關(guān)于新法律的想法。
