Laws which municipalities are permitted to pass are called

  1. Mis-laws

  2. Provincial-Laws

  3. Bylaws

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Bylaws

Bylaws are laws that are established by the local government of a town, city, or municipality to regulate various aspects of community life. These can range from zoning bylaws that dictate how land can be used, noise bylaws that manage noise levels, to business licensing bylaws and many others. The local government has the authority to enact these types of laws and regulate affairs within their own boundaries according to the needs and standards of their community. This is a unique power given to the municipalities, separate from provincial or federal laws. Therefore, bylaws are the correct answer. It respects the autonomy of local governments to make decisions in the best interest of their specific regions under their jurisdiction.
