royal edicts

Royal edicts are formal commands or official orders issued by a reigning monarch or royal authority. They serve as authoritative directives that can establish laws, alter regulations, or make official pronouncements within a kingdom or empire. These edicts often carry legal weight and reflect the ruler's decisions, priorities, or policies at a particular time. They may be used to address various issues such as governance, justice, or public welfare. While historically common, in modern contexts, similar concepts might be seen in official government decrees or statutes issued by heads of state.
