Statutes (4)

I believe the answer is:

laws

'statutes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for laws that I've seen before include "Rules imposed by authority" , "Rules, statutes" , "Codes of action" , "legislation" , "code" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune and the King Feature Syndicate.
