AG (Allgemeine Gesetze)

AG (Allgemeine Gesetze) refers to "General Laws" in German legal context, encompassing fundamental legal principles and regulations that apply broadly across various areas of law. These laws establish the standard rules and norms that guide legal processes, influence legal interpretation, and ensure consistency within the legal system. They serve as the foundational framework upon which specific statutes and regulations are built, enabling courts, authorities, and individuals to understand their rights, duties, and legal consequences within society. In essence, AG provides the overarching legal guidelines that underpin more specialized laws.
