Basic Law
|
|
This is a list of articles about the fundamental 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".
