INTRODUCTION
REPEALED LAW - Repeal means to revoke or rescind, especially by an official or formal
act. To repeal a law is to void an existing law, by passage of a repealing statute, or by
public vote on a referendum. A law may be repealed by implication, by passage of a statute
which is inconsistent with the old statute.
Repeal of constitutional provisions requires an amendment, such as the 21st Amendment's
repeal of prohibition, which repealed the 18th Amendment. Without a statutory provision
otherwise, when a statute repeals another, and afterwards the repealing statute is itself
repealed, the first statute is revived
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW - Constitutionality is the condition of acting
in accordance with an applicable constitution the status of a law, a procedure, or an act's
accordance with the laws or guidelines set forth in the applicable constitution. When one of
these (laws, procedures, or acts) directly violates the constitution it is unconstitutional. All
the rest are considered constitutional until challenged and declared otherwise.
