What does ENACT mean in Scrabble?
verb
legal
To make (a bill or proposal) into law through the formal process of a legislature.
A legislature does not simply agree with a bill in order to enact it; the proposal must pass through debate, votes, and often the approval of a head of state before it becomes binding law. Governments enact new rules to address problems such as public safety, taxation, or trade, and the resulting statute then applies to everyone within its reach. A related, older sense of enact means to perform or act out a role or scene, a use still found in writing about theater. Both senses share the idea of turning something planned on paper into something that actually happens.
