The term 'lawgiver' is used to describe a person who creates laws. This term can be applied to four different people: a LEGISLATOR (10 letters), SOLON (5 letters), DRACO (5 letters), MOSES (5 letters), and Nomothetes (9 letters). A LEGISLATOR is a person who is elected to make laws in a government. SOLON was an Athenian statesman and lawmaker who is credited with laying the foundations for Athenian democracy. DRACO was an Athenian lawmaker who created the first written code of law in Ancient Greece. MOSES was a prophet in the Abrahamic religions who is said to have received the Ten Commandments from God. Nomothetes were ancient Greek legal experts who were responsible for interpreting and codifying existing laws.
