Decree Laws

Decree laws are official, authoritative regulations issued by a government or ruling authority, often used during emergencies or special circumstances. They have the force of law without needing approval from the legislative body. Essentially, they allow the government to quickly implement rules or changes when swift action is necessary, such as during crises or political upheavals. While they are legally binding, decree laws typically require later approval or ratification by the legislature to become permanent law, ensuring a balance between executive power and parliamentary oversight.
