What maintains, sustains or maintains the regulating order of the universe, what natural law or law means. It is a concept of central importance in Indian philosophy and religion. Legislative powers belong primarily to the elected representatives of the legislature. The transfer of supreme legislative power to elected legislators is the basis of representative democracy. In addition to federal and state constitutions, laws passed by elected legislators are the first laws consulted to find the law that applies to a case. The statutes are neither static nor irreversible. An Act may be amended or repealed by the legislature that enacted it, or repealed by a court. A law may lapse or expire under the provisions of the law itself or under a law that automatically terminates laws, unless they are reapproved before the expiry of a certain period. STATUS. The written will of the legislature, solemnly expressed in accordance with the forms prescribed by the Constitution; an Act of the Legislature. 2.
This word is used as opposed to the common law. The statutes shall take effect on the date of their adoption, unless otherwise provided. 7 wheat. R. 104: 1 Gall. A. 62. 3. As a general rule, if the provision of an Act is general, all that is necessary to give effect to such a provision is provided by the common law; Co.
Litt. 235; 2 Inst. 222; Ferry. From. H.T. B; And when a power of attorney is given by law, everything necessary to make it effective is implicitly given: quando le aliquid concedit, concedere videtur et id pe quod devenitur ad aliud. 12 Cor. 130, 131 2 Inst. 306. 4. Laws are of various kinds; i.e. public or private.
1. Public laws are those of which judges take note without plea; such as those affecting all officers in general; acts relating to trade in general or to a particular trade; Actions that affect all people in general. 2. Private acts are those of which the judges will not take note without plea; which concern only a specific species or person; such as, acts relating to a specific place or to several specific places or to one or more specific counties. Private laws may be made public by such a declaration by the legislature. Ferry. From. H.T. F; 1 Bl. Com.
85. Declaratory or in need of redress. 1.A declaratory statute is a law enacted to dispel any doubt about what the common law is and to explain what it is and what it has always been. 2. Remedial legislation is one that seeks to remedy these deficiencies and to reduce common law superfluities that may be discovered. 1 Bl. Komm. 86. These reorganization statutes are themselves divided into extension statutes, which make the common law more comprehensive and broad than before; and in restrictive laws by which it is limited to what is just and just. The term right of reparation also applies to acts that provide redress to the injured party and, in some respects, such laws are punishable. Especially pen. Act 1.
6. Temporary or indefinite. (1) An interim law is a law whose duration is limited at the time of its promulgation. It remains in force until the expiry of its limitation period, unless it is revoked earlier. 2. A status of indefinite duration is a status for the extension of which there is no time limit, even if it is not expressly indicated as such. However, if a law that itself contains no restrictions is to be regulated by another that is only temporary, the former is also temporary and depends on the existence of the latter. Ferry. From. h.t. D.
7. Affirmative or negative. 1. A positive law is a law that is enacted in a positive form; Such a statute does not detract from the common law. For example, if a law states without negative words that, if certain conditions must be met, the documents must have some effect, this does not prevent them from being used as evidence even if the requirements have not been met, in the same way as they could have been met before the law was passed. 2 Cain. No. 169. 2. A negative law is a law which expresses itself negatively and therefore controls the common law so that it has no force of contrary law. Brother.
