"By-laws" is typically the name of the rules/"laws" inside of a company or organization, I'm not familiar with that word in the context of "nation-wide criminal/civil laws".
Regardless, cities do not have their own "local laws" in the way your comment made it seem. We have national laws, and minor differences in various autonomous communities, since they have some legislative power to control their own industry, commerce, education and some more stuff.
- ninalanyon 7mo ago> "By-laws" is typically the name of the rules/"laws" inside of a company I suspect that this should be qualified by "in the US"
- embedding-shape 7mo agoNo, I was talking about Spain, I have no idea how it works in the US. I thought mentioning "autonomous communities" was enough context to make it evident, but maybe it wasn't.
- ninalanyon 7mo agoI was misled then by the word being in English. The name bye-law in British English generally applies to local authority (town or county) laws rather than the internal rules of a commercial entity.
- eep_social 7mo agoas an american I might call those “local ordinance” when they come from a smaller rulemaker like a town
- dylan604 7mo ago> inside of a company or organization, Corps and cities are very similarly structured. Each are charted at the start, with corps getting governed by boards and c-suite types while cities have mayors and city council types. Both file paperwork to exist within the state. Both are subject to state laws, but are allowed to make up regulations specific to them as long as they are within the state's laws. In the end, it's all just paperwork, at least in the US
