Basic Law

A list of articles about the basic constitutional laws known as Basic Laws of various jurisdictions. Often, the use of the term Basic Law rather than constitution is intentional to imply that the Law is seen as a temporary measure in place of a more permanent constitution as was the case of Germany. In the context of the Special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, the term constitution would strictly speaking refer to that of the People's Republic of China, but under the One country two systems principle, "mini-constitutions" have been adopted for the respective regions, and are called "Basic Law".

See: Law topics overview and List of legal topics for other lists dealing with the law of various jurisdictions.

"It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address.
