Frostpunk 2 Laws affect the city in a wide variety of ways, from resource production efficiency and population growth, to reducing problems and increasing trust. Laws often begin as researched 
Idea Tree concepts, and then laws can be proposed negotiated, and come to a vote. In order for a law to pass, the Steward will have to sway at least 51 delegates to their point of view. Depending on the 
Factions balance some laws might be harder to push than others.
The council itself is a building. It must be placed in the Central District (somewhere near the generator) for a nominal amount of 
Heatstamps and cannot be placed anywhere else. The council buildings consumes no resources after it is constructed and cannot be disabled or deconstructed. It also immediately gives the "Emergency Session" district ability to the district.
Laws may be explored at any time. If the council is in recess, text in the bottom left will allow exploration of the laws. Laws are organised into tabs based around aspects of the 
Zeitgeist such as Survival, Economy, and Society. Each tab is then subdivided into columns or sections around broad topic groups, like resource management or family values. Finally, there are specific issues which laws are designed to directly address. Each issue has laws designed to address it. Some laws must be researched before they will appear and can be voted on in order to apply it to an issue.
Selecting an issue will show the Laws available to address it. Likewise, hovering over an issue will show "alternative policies" for it. Issues generally start with "No common rules". Once approved by voting, one of the laws becomes "in force," and only one can be active at a time, but it is possible to vote on another law for that issue later on. If there is no law in force and at "no common rules" for too long there may be an event prompting the Steward and Council to address the issue.
Laws tend to have a name and individualised art, some flavour text about how it addresses the issue, and a list of effects on certain resources or city statistics. Next to the law, and an indicators about the general support or opposition to the law such as the Community or Faction that currently supports it (if any), a measure of the delegates current intentions before negotiations, and its impact on the Zeitgeist if successfully adopted.
After a law is passed, there may be additional events to amend the law or change its effects.
The council is made up of 100 council members, with each faction and community having representatives proportional to the number of members that faction or community has. To pass a proposed law, at least 51 votes must be achieved.
Each of the 100 members will either be For, Against, or Hesitant. For and Against voters will always vote as they say they do, and Hesitant voters will randomly choose whether to vote for or against the proposal.
Each faction or community will have a certain view towards each proposed law, depending on how it aligns with their ideology. Proposals that align with the ideology of a voting member will always vote in favor of the law, while proposals that align with the opposing ideology of the voting member will always vote against the law. Communities will often be hesitant, and will have split votes if a vote is made without negotiations.
Proposals can be done every 10 weeks between which council will be in recess and unavailable. While the council is in recess, laws can be explored by a button at the bottom left. The Emergency Session district action will immediately bring the council together for a vote while the council is in recess, at the cost of decreasing trust.
As the Steward, you can negotiate with the different factions and communities to persuade how they vote. By clicking Negotiate, you can see which factions and communities are open to negotiations. Factions cannot be negotiated with when their favored or disfavored laws are being proposed, and they will always vote in favor of their own ideologies and against their opposing ones.
To negotiate, you have to choose Your Terms and Their Terms. Your terms are either to vote for or against the proposal being voted on. Their terms is something you have to promise to the faction in return for their vote. These terms include, but are not limited to:
The game will randomly pick 3 terms the group wants, and you have to choose 1 of those 3 to promise. If you fulfill the promise, your relations with that group will increase, and trust will rise. If you fail to fulfill the promise, your relations with that group will decrease, and trust will fall.
You can only have 3 active promises at a time, so if you have 3 promises active you will not be able make any new negotiations.
If you have passed the Guided Voting law, you can guide the delegates to vote in favor or against any proposal without negotiations at the cost of decreased trust. This will result in a large portion of the council members following your guide and voting as you wish them to. You may still need to negotiate to get over the passing threshold.
In order to pass any of the laws in the Rule category, the threshold for passing increases to 67 members needed. Rule laws also are impacted by the amount of Tension in the city, with higher Tension making it easier to pass Rule laws.
The Survival tab contains the topics of Resources, Frostland, and Efficiency. It concerns itself primarily with amassing 
Resources such as 
Oil, 
Coal, 
Materials, and 
Food. The two opposing ideologies in this section are 
Adaptation and 
Progress.
The issues with laws available for voting at the start of the game are Food Additives and Goods, which impact their respective resources.
There are no established standards for which additives can be put in food in times of need.
Effects:
The City will approve chemical additives with tested and tolerable risk levels.
