Home›National Constitutions of Asia and Oceania›Country or JurisdictionBrowse ByCountry or JurisdictionThis dimension groups legal codes by the country or jurisdiction they govern.

Browsing this way collects every code belonging to the same country or jurisdiction.FactsCountry or JurisdictionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining CharacteristicWell-attestedA constitution, or supreme law, is the aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that constitute the legal basis of a polity, and commonly determines how that entity is to be governed. 1Country or JurisdictionFilter Results44 entriesLegal SystemAllAustralian Law (1)Civil Law (8)Common Law (1)Indian Legal System (1)Japanese Law (1)Law of Bhutan (1)Law of Cambodia (1)Law of Fiji (1)Law of Indonesia (1)Law of Laos (1)Law of Mongolia (1)Law of Myanmar (1)Law of Nauru (1)Law of Nepal (1)Law of Papua New Guinea (1)Law of Samoa (1)Law of Singapore (1)Law of the People's Republic of China (1)Law of Timor-Leste (1)Law of Tonga (1)Law of Tuvalu (1)Law of Uzbekistan (1)Law of Vanuatu (1)Legal System of North Korea (1)Legal System of Vietnam (1)Mixed Systems (8)New Zealand Law (1)Sharia (2)Socialist Law (1)EraAll19th Century (1800-1899) (2)20th Century (1900-1999) (33)21st Century (2000-Present) (9)Legal StatusAllAmended (15)Historical / No Longer in Force (1)In Force (31)Superseded / Replaced (2)Authored ByAllB.
