Edict

History

An edict originates in the Roman right . An edict was a declaration of a Magistrat, which had the force of law as a long time as it kept his station. The term comes from the Latin edictum .

Under the French Monarchy , an edict became a law issued by the king. This definition remained since unchanged. One generally names an edict of the place where it was signed. Thus one speaks about the Édit of Nantes.
