All people are legislators in a broad political sense

Evidence

The concept of “legislator” must inevitably be identified with the concept of “politician”. Since all men are “political beings”, all are also “legislators”. But distinctions will have to be made. “Legislator” has a precise juridical and official meaning—i.e. it means those persons who are empowered by the law to enact laws. But it can have other meanings too. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 988
