The term "legislate" in literature has been used both in its literal sense—to denote the formal enactment of laws—and in a broader metaphorical context that questions authority and governance. In classical works such as Plato’s Republic, we encounter personal restraint and a questioning of the speaker’s own authority to impose rules ([1], [2], [3], [4]). In historical narratives, authors depict governments assuming the right to legislate in governing religion and public order, as seen in Foxe’s examination of heresy ([5]) and Scadding’s account of parliamentary resolutions ([6]). Meanwhile, in texts addressing social and gender dynamics, “legislate” takes on a contentious tone, critiquing the imposition of laws by one class on another ([7], [8], [9]). Contemporary thinkers like John Stuart Mill and John Maynard Keynes further extend the term to assert individual rights and question the feasibility of legislating for unforeseen future challenges ([10], [11]), while Carlyle even hints at a creative impulse to legislate in artistic expression ([12]).
