Fix the mistake: Basics of Law

Constitutions, Laws, and Ordinances

In this lesson, you will learn about “constitutions, laws, and ordinances,” one of the most important topics in the fundamentals of law. Rather than memorizing words alone, you will aim to explain the mechanisms and reasons in your own words.

Key Point
A constitution is the fundamental law of a country, laws are enacted by the national legislature, and ordinances are established by local governments within the scope of laws and regulations.
Points to Remember
  • Check the reasons, not just the conclusion
  • Distinguish similar terms and exceptions
  • Try using the same way of thinking with other examples

Note: The content covered here is general information. For individual decisions, consult an appropriate source of advice, such as a medical institution or legal professional.
