Theory of regulations - jorei riron (English spelling) teoria della statuta [Italy]

Japanese: 条例理論 - じょうれいりろん（英語表記）teoria della statuta[イタリア]

The word "ordinance" originally meant the "statuta," or city ordinances enacted by autonomous cities in northern Italy in the Middle Ages based on their own legislative power. Ordinance theory studies the issues surrounding the application of these city ordinances, and its main themes can be broadly divided into two. The first is the vertical relationship, so to speak, between the power of the Roman Emperor, who had universal legislative power throughout Europe, and the power of cities, which were recognized as having autonomous powers, including legislative power, and discusses whether imperial law or city law should be applied first.

Japanese:

条例とはもともと，中世イタリア北部の自治都市が独自の立法権に基づいて制定した都市条例statutaのことを意味していた。この都市条例の適用をめぐる諸問題を研究したのが条例理論であり，その主たる課題は二つに大別できる。一つは，ヨーロッパに普遍的な立法権をもっていたローマ皇帝の権力と，立法権を含む自治権を認められていた都市の権力との対抗関係の中で，皇帝法と都市法そのいずれを優先適用すべきかを論ずる，いわばタテの関係である。
