Simple Definition
An edict is a formal decree or proclamation issued by a country's leader. It can have the same legal force as a law in some countries. In ancient Rome, an edict was a constitution or law proclaimed by the emperor and had the force of law. Magistrates could also issue edicts relevant to their jurisdiction or area of competence. There were different types of edicts, such as the praetorian edict, which explained the grounds on which a formula would be granted, and the edictum aedilicium, which gave remedies for sales of defective goods, animals, or slaves.
