Okay, I've never studied jurisprudence, so some of these terms are new 
to me. I'm not wanting to rehash or restart this previous thread, but I 
have question.

What is the difference, in at least the medieval sense, between a 
regulation and a proclaimation?

One is issued by the parliament or the Royalty and the other by other, 
perhaps non-governmental, bodies? Or one is issued by an elected body 
and the other by an appointed one?
