REPEALS Meaning and
Definition
-
Repeals refer to the acts or process of officially revoking or annulling laws, rules, regulations, or provisions that are no longer deemed valid or enforceable. The term is commonly used in legal and legislative contexts to describe the abolishment or elimination of specific aspects of legislation.
When a law is repealed, it is essentially declared invalid and no longer in effect. This can occur through a variety of channels, such as through a new legislation explicitly stating the repeal of a previous law, through judicial decisions deeming a law unconstitutional, or through executive actions exercised by a governing authority. Repeals can range from targeting entire statutes or acts to targeting specific provisions or clauses within an existing law.
The process of repealing a law often involves going through the appropriate legislative procedures, such as introducing a bill for repeal, debates, and voting. If the bill receives majority support, it can be signed into law by the appropriate executive authority, effectively nullifying the targeted legislation. Repeals can be driven by various reasons, including a change in societal attitudes, the emergence of new evidence or data, the need for legal reforms, or the desire to rectify any perceived deficiencies or errors in existing laws.
Overall, when something is repealed, it means that a law or provision is officially revoked or abolished, rendering it no longer enforceable or valid.
Common Misspellings for REPEALS
Etymology of REPEALS
The word "repeals" is derived from the English noun "repeal", which originated from the Latin verb "re-pellere". "Re-pellere" is a combination of the prefix "re-" (meaning "back" or "again") and the verb "pellere" (meaning "to push" or "to drive"). Hence, "repeal" originally meant to push or drive something back, or to annul, revoke, or cancel a law, regulation, or provision. The word "repeals" is the plural form of "repeal", referring to multiple instances of repealing.
