Talk:Primary legislation

Primary legislation
The first paragraph seems somewhat misleading. Primary legislation vs secondary legislation is not a dichotomy between legislative or executive branch origin. Primary legislation is base legislation, such as the US constitution, the Danish Constitution or the treaties governing the EU. Secondary legislation defines legislation which is lower in hierarchy than primary law, such as bills in the US or directives in the EU. The confusion arises in the case of the UK, where all acts of Parliament are Primary laws (Parliamentary Supremacy) since they don't have a constitution.(130.226.45.152 (talk) 09:19, 30 April 2012 (UTC))
