Английская Википедия:Basic law
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Unreferenced A basic law is either a codified constitution, or in countries with uncodified constitutions, a law designed to have the effect of a constitution. The term basic law is used in some places as an alternative to "constitution" and may be intended as a temporary but necessary measure, until the formal enactment of a constitution. "Basic law" is sometimes used to avoid its being taken to be, like a constitution, "the highest law". There may be various reasons, such as religion, for this.
Germany
In West Germany the term "Basic Law" (Шаблон:Lang-de) was used to indicate that the Basic Law was provisional until the ultimate reunification of Germany. However, when Germany finally reunified in 1990, no new constitutions were adopted and instead the Basic Law was adopted throughout the entire German territory.
