<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">decrees</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('edict' can be a synonym of 'decree')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "'Decrees, orders (6)'" , "Commands" , "Proclamation" , "Official orders issued by authority" , "Decrees by authority" .)
