Royal Decree

A Royal Decree is a formal legal act issued by a monarch or royal authority that has the force of law. It is used to enact, modify, or repeal laws, establish regulations, or make official decisions on significant matters. Unlike parliamentary legislation, Royal Decrees often serve as executive orders or administrative directives, especially in constitutional monarchies. They are typically issued following legal procedures and hold legal authority within the jurisdiction, ensuring that important policies are formally adopted and effectively implemented by the government.
