Decree is a specific kind of law

In Russian, a lot of borrowed words. As for professional terminology, in such an area as jurisprudence, it is impossible to do without Latin. Roman law, or, as it was called earlier, "written mind", is the basis of modern legal concepts, it is studied in institutions, its terms are used by modern specialists.

The meaning of the word

Decree is a decree, from the Latin word"dekretum". This term in the Roman state was called legal acts issued by the Senate, a collegial, authoritative body, or the decisions of the praetor, the second post-consular official in charge of which were legal issues in civil matters. Later this term was replaced by the term "law". But in the history of mankind this notion appeared twice more on the state arena: during the time of the French Republic and the young Soviet Russia. It is obvious that this term has acquired a revolutionary coloring as a result of the instability of the content, often they were taken in haste, and their prompt adoption was dictated. Therefore, the decree is a specific type of law, which was adopted on individual issues. Most often they were of a temporary nature and later were part of a certain law as part of it.

The current application of the term

And now in some European countriesis used to designate a temporary act, the adoption of which is dictated by extreme necessity and urgency. The term itself has quite a lot of interpretations. Decree - this is a decree, and a definition, and a solution. In addition, it can be interpreted as a principle, thesis, the basis, the main rule. Such a variety of interpretations determines the relevance of the term. Indeed, in the present republic of Belarus it has a fairly wide circulation, the legality of issuing decrees is fixed in articles of the constitution. However, it is stipulated that they are needed in case of special need, that is, they are of an extraordinary nature. It can be said that in the Belarusian version the decree is an extraordinary legal act issued either by the president or by state authorities.

New sound

On the territory of Russia, the passage of this termIt was necessary for the first few years of the existence of the Soviet state, in which only in the 1930s a clear legal basis was formed. After the proclamation of the Russian Soviet Republic, the first laws, issued literally at once, by the new authorities were called decrees, which in itself sounded revolutionary, in a new way, corresponded to that time. They went down in history like "The first decrees of Soviet power". Researchers refer to them all decisions and decisions that were issued during the period of November-December 1917. Over time, the wording of the new provisional laws became more sustained and professional. But in the first normative acts, of course, there was propaganda. Otherwise, then it could not be.

The first laws that changed the world

The very first law of people's power is the Decree onworld, published on November 8, 1917, that is, on the second day after the proclamation of a new state. He called for an immediate end to the war between all countries and the establishment of a just peace "without annexations and indemnities". On the same day, two more decrees were issued (on land and power) and 4 decrees. November 10 saw the light of the normative act on the establishment of the People's Workers 'and Peasants' Army. The decrees abolished the death penalty at the front, announced the arrest of the Provisional Government and the beginning of the struggle against pogroms. According to the decree, provisional revolutionary committees were formed in the active army. The timeliness of the adoption of the first decrees and decrees, their effectiveness is said by the state, which has stood in contrast to the French Republic and has not succumbed to the action of external and internal enemies, having existed for 70 years.
