The term basic law is used in some places as an alternative to "constitution", implying it is a ''temporary but necessary measure'' without formal enactment of constitution. A basic law is either a codified constitution, or in countries with uncodified constitutions, a law given to have constitution powers and effect. The name is usually used to imply an interim or transitory nature, or avoid attempting a claim to being "the highest law", often for religious reasons. In West Germany the term "Basic Law" (''Grundgesetz'') was used to indicate that the Basic Law was provisional until the ultimate reunification of Germany. But in 1990 no new constitution was adopted and instead the Basic Law was adopted throughout the entire German territory. Basic law is entrenched in that it overrides ordinary 'statute law' passed by the legislature. The Special Administrative Regions of the People's Republic of China, namely Hong Kong and Macau, have basic laws as their constitutional documents. The basic laws are the highest authority, respectively, in the territories, while the rights of amendment and interpretation rest with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China. == List of basic laws == * Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany * Hong Kong Basic Law * Basic Laws of Israel * Macau Basic Law * Basic Law of Saudi Arabia * The Basic Law For the Palestinian National Authority 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basic law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
