'''''Bylaws''''' are defined as ''"a set of legal rules adopted by the [[Board of Governors]] and ratified by a [[General Assembly]] or adopted by a General Assembly and ratified by the EUS Board of Governors for the governance of EUS legal affairs."'' <br>
These are not to be mistaken with [[policies]], which are documents that are guiding principles and best practices. Bylaws are legally binding, and therefore tend to be of more solidified and pertinent matters. Changing a bylaws requires a significant amount of work, including a General Assembly; if you're creating a document and wondering what it should be classified as, consider whether or not it's rules are settled for now and the distant future.
