How Do Cities Decide on New Laws?

Cities make new laws by asking people what they want. Imagine you're in a big room with your friends, and you all get to vote on whether to add a rule about playing music too loud at night. If most people say yes, the city adds that rule. It's like a group decision for everyone who lives there.
