Second, the systems which create, amend and enforce laws such as the PLC and the judiciary. Third, the basic rules which govern public finances including a presentation of the main principles included in the BL and DPC and also the reform process. Fourth, the degree to which normative orientation (secular/religious) should direct state formation, institution building and the application of law.
