2. Constitution
The term constitution came from the two Latin words, com, which means together, and statuere,
which means place or station. Literally, therefore, constitution means the putting in position of
things, or simply composition. If understood then with respect to law, it means the fundamental,
organic laws that govern the operation of a group of men or a state. Or as Cooley defines it,
constitution is that body of rules and principles in accordance with which the powers of sovereignty
are regularly exercised.

over from the Board of Communications and the Telecommunications Control Bureau which

and control over all telecommunications services throughout the country.

A decree is a rule of law usually issued by a head of state (such as the president of a republic or
a monarch), according to certain procedures (usually established in a constitution). It has the force of
law. The particular term used for this concept may vary from country to country. The executive
orders made by the President of the United States, for example, are decrees (although a decree is
not exactly an order). In non-legal English usage, however, the term refers to
any authoritarian decision.
