Talk:Statute

message: What if one person, or a group of people do not agree with a written statute?
Dispute it?
What if that still doesn't work?
Revolt?
How can we (in America) revolt, when the mass majority are stuck in the comfortability of repetitive conditioning beaten into their minds through televised media techniques?
How can one man with such a small voice fight against the influence of such a monster as the influential power of mass media?
Martyrdom?
' WE the people ' has now become ' I the person ' as a result of the conditioning process brought on by the new age morals of the american public.
If the people lead the leaders will follow, however if the people can not put aside their petty differences for the good of a greater cause, it will never happen.
1. Sign your posts.
2. Why are you writing this? for a start the use of we isn't correct unless you represent muliple persons writing as 'we' the people on this talk page aren't exclusivly Usonion. You seen to be ranting about nothing in particular. Democracy is about rule for the benefit of the majority, you have no right to dispute said statute unless your group represents the majority. A conclusive answer to your 'question' however would be to move to another country.(Morcus (talk) 00:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Civil Disobedience. On Revolutionary Measures. 

message: : It is important to realise that a statute in and of itself is not a law de jure but merely de facto. It is a legislated rule of a society which has been given the force of law, by consent of the governed. There is speculation as to whether consent of the governed is given by the democratic process, or whether it is required in each individual case—such as by contracting with courts or police officers, whether directly or indirectly.
This seems to make no sense at all (as well as being hopelessly confused) in terms of explaining what a Statute is (it seems to apply equally to anything supposedly having force of law such as an appellate court decision in a common law country), and so it belongs in theories of why laws legitimately bind individuals and not here. Delete it?

thread_title:  Spurious points 

message: The term statute has 2 main meanings.
# instance of law (a document passed by legislature): Statutory law
# a set of rules of an organization or a company: articles of association
If it's going to be an article about all meanings, the distinction should be made as clear as possible.
There are other slightly different meanings:
* statute of municipality: municipal by-law - refers to statutory law
* statute of institution, established by international treaty - refers to articles of association
* statute of government body, established by government decree or regulation - refers to articles of association

thread_title:  Statute vs law vs articles of association 

message: It would be interesting to know if European Union regulations also class as statutes.  For instance, European Commission (2013) which established the ENTSO-E transparency platform.
