What are by-laws?

  1. Constitutional laws that govern the country.

  2. International laws that affect multiple countries.

  3. Laws affecting only the local community, passed by the municipal government.

  4. Laws passed directly by the Governor General.

The correct answer is: Laws affecting only the local community, passed by the municipal government.

By-laws refer to laws that are specific to a local community and are passed by the municipal government. This is why options A, B, and D are incorrect as they refer to laws that have a broader scope. Constitutional laws govern the entire country, international laws affect multiple countries, and laws passed by the Governor General may only apply to a certain region or province. By-laws are important for regulating the everyday activities and conduct within a specific local community.
