Everything about Royal Decree totally explained
A
decree is an order made by a
head of state or
government and having the force of
law. The particular term used for this concept may vary from country to country — the
executive orders made by the
president of the United States, for example, are decrees. In non-legal
English usage, however, the term
rule by decree refers to any
authoritarian decision and in this sense is often derogatory.
Imperial Decree
An
imperial decree is a decree issued by a sovereign ruler, such as an
emperor,
king, or similarly styled person. Imperial decrees from monarchial times differ from decrees issued by heads of state in modern democracies in that they embodied a force of law that was subject to no limitations either by other branches of government, or through the democratic process.
Russia
After the
Russian Revolution, a government proclamation of wide meaning was called a "decree" (Russian: декрет, dekret); more specific proclamations were called
ukaz. Both terms are usually translated as 'decree'.
According to the
Russian Federation's 1993 constitution, an
ukaz is a Presidential decree. Such ukazes have the power of laws, but may not alter the
Russian constitution or the regulations of existing laws, and may be superseded by laws passed by the
Federal Assembly.
Catholic Church
The
Roman Catholic Church uses decrees from the
Pope such as a
papal Bull,
Papal Brief or
Motu Proprio as legislative acts.
Other uses of the term
In some jurisdictions, certain types of
court orders by
judges are referred to as decrees.
