Makes law with three points about a Territory (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enacts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'makes law' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'three points about a territory' is the wordplay.
'three points' becomes 'ENS' (East, North and South are compass points).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'a territory' becomes 'act' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ens' placed around 'act' is 'ENACTS'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enacts that I've seen before include "Passes formally into law" , "Appears" , "sanctions" , "Performs" , "Turns a bill into law" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
