[Sca-cooks] Proclaimation vs. regulation?

[Terry Decker]

A regulation is an edict having the force of law.  A proclamation is a 
public announcement.  Thus a regulation may be a proclamation, but not all 
proclamations are regulations.  Laws tend to be established by rulers or 
ruling/legislative bodies.  Regulations usually are prepared by lesser 
authorities (states, counties, municipalities, government agencies, etc.) to 
provide direction for day to day enforcement of the law.
