What are by-laws?

Federal laws that apply nationwide
International laws adopted by Canada
Laws that affect only the local community, passed by the municipal government
Guidelines for Canadian diplomatic conduct

The correct answer is: Laws that affect only the local community, passed by the municipal government

By-laws, or bylaws, are a set of rules and regulations that are put in place by a local government to govern the functioning of a specific community or organization. They are specific to a particular municipality or community and are not adopted at a federal or international level. This makes options A, B, and D incorrect as they do not accurately describe what by-laws are. Option C is the correct answer because it specifies that by-laws are laws passed by the municipal government that only affect the local community.
