会則|かいそくkaisoku[0]heiban (flat)

1. nounsociety regulations; club regulations; constitution

• Synonym規程きていWritten「規程」 is a written, formal term for internal rules on office procedures and paperwork — closer to detailed working rules than a club's 「会則」.
• Synonym法のりFormal「法」 (のり) is formal and archaic; it covers rules and models, and also Buddhist teachings — nothing like a modern club charter.
• Related法度はっとWritten「法度」 is written, formal usage; it mainly means a ban or a medieval ordinance, often as 「ご法度」, and sounds older than 「会則」.
• Related原則げんそくNeutral「原則」 is neutral; it means a basic principle or the usual practice, as in 「原則として」, not the charter of a particular club.
• Related規律きりつWritten「規律」 is a written, formal word stressing the discipline and order a group must keep, rather than a codified charter like 「会則」.
• Related定めさだめWritten「定め」 is a written, formal word covering agreements and arrangements but also fate and destiny — a far broader range than 「会則」.
• Related掟おきてWritten「掟」 is a written, formal word for the strict rules a community must obey, with a traditional flavor 「会則」 does not have.
• Related準則じゅんそくWritten「準則」 is a written, formal word for standards or guidelines used as a basis — more abstract than the concrete articles of 「会則」.
• Related典則てんそくFormal「典則」 is formal and rare; it refers to rules that serve as a model to be followed, not the everyday regulations of a club.
• Related定則ていそくWritten「定則」 is a written, rare word for fixed, established rules — stiff literary usage far removed from 「会則」.

Use 「会則」 for the charter of a particular club or society, as in 「会則に従う」. For a company's internal rules say 「規程」 or 「規則」; for the traditional rules a community must keep say 「掟」; for a ban say 「ご法度」. 「原則」 is a general principle and 「規律」 discipline; 「準則」「典則」「定則」「法」 are abstract or rare literary words.
