The Law
History
The laws of Snefaldia are based on the twin system of civil code and common law. The modern legal system was established in 1895 upon the formation of the Republic, with the promulgation of the Republican Central Law, the "constitution" of Snefaldia. This code established the basic principles of the short-lived Snefaldian republic, organizing elections, judicial appointments, and congressess. The code enshrined for the first time personal rights and liberties.
Upon the fall of the Republic and recreation of the Tuhran Bel, the Central Law was gutted and, set aside, and a replacement was created. The Bel of 1964 produced the Essential Law, a half-hearted attempt to appease the supporters of the old Central Law, and in 1966 the Bel was forced to return and produce another code. This second constitution was supported by almost all, and in 1967 the Tuhran Bel officially declared the Snefaldian Fundamental Law to be the paramount legal code of the nation.
Application
The Fundamental Law is nominally paramount, but deals mostly with foreign policy, national defense, systems of tax, and inter-region commerce. Each region largely manages it's own affairs, but because of the overwhelming influence of Aatem Nal these affairs are usually in line with the central government.
