The Statute of Autonomy

The Statute of Autonomy is a legal framework that defines the powers and responsibilities of a regional government within a larger country. It establishes how the region manages its own affairs—like education, health, and local laws—while remaining part of the national government. Essentially, it grants a region a degree of self-governance, recognizing its unique identity and needs, but within the limits set by the country's constitution. This legal document helps balance regional autonomy with national unity, ensuring local policies reflect local preferences while maintaining overall cohesion.
