The law of the Volkian Federative Republic comprises of several levels of codified and uncodified forms of law, of which is governed by the Volkian Constitution. The Constitution provides the foundation of the Volkian federal government and guarantees various civil liberties to Volkian citizens. The Constitution sets out the boundaries of federal law which include: Acts of the National Assembly, treaties ratified by the Federal Council, regulations promulgated by the executive branch, and case law originating from the federal judiciary. Federal statutory law is compiled and codified in the Volkian Federal Code.
Federal laws and treaties supersede conflicting provincial and territorial laws in Volkia's 25 provinces and territory. Volkia has a dual sovereign system, in which the federal sovereign has some limitations in what it can do. Any rights not afforded to the federal sovereign by the Constitution are automatically afforded to the plenary sovereigns, which are the nation's provinces. Provinces are semiautonomous and have certain rights and obligations as set out in the Constitution, though it is clearly stated in Article 4 of the Constitution that federal law is supreme to provincial law.
