1. A local or subordinate law; a private law or regulation
made by a corporation for its own government.
[1913 Webster]
There was likewise a law to restrain the by-laws, or
ordinances of corporations. --Bacon.
[1913 Webster]
The law or institution; to which are added two
by-laws, as a comment upon the general law.
--Addison.
[1913 Webster]
2. A law that is less important than a general law or
constitutional provision, and subsidiary to it; a rule
relating to a matter of detail; as, civic societies often
adopt a constitution and by-laws for the government of
their members. In this sense the word has probably been
influenced by by, meaning secondary or aside.

BY-LAWS
(bouvier) | BY-LAWS. Rules and ordinances made by a corporation for its own government.
2. The power to make by-laws is usually conferred by express terms of
the charter creating the corporation, though, when not expressly granted, it
is given by implication, and it is incident to the very existence of a
corporation. When there is an express grant, limited to certain cases and
for certain purposes, the corporate power of legislation is confined to the
objects specified, all others being excluded by implication. 2 Kyd on Corp.
102; 2 P. Wms. 207; Ang. on Corp. 177. The power of making by-laws, is to be
exercised by those persons in whom it is vested by the charter; but if that
instrument is silent on that subject, it resides in the members of the
corporation at large. Harris & Gill's R. 324; 4 Burr. 2515, 2521; 6 Bro. P.
C. 519.
3. The constitution of the United States, and acts of congress made in
conformity to it the constitution of the state in which a corporation is
located, and acts of the legislature, constitutionally made, together with
the common-law as there accepted, are of superior force to any by-law; and
such by-law, when contrary to either of them, is therefore void, whether the
charter authorizes the making of such by-law or not; because no legislature
can grant power larger than they themselves possess. 7 Cowen's R. 585; Id.
604 5 Cowen's R. 538. Vide, generally, Aug. on Corp. ch. 9; Willc. on Corp.
ch. 2, s. 3; Bac. Ab. h. t.; 4 Vin. Ab. 301 Dane's Ab. Index, h. t., Com.
Dig. h. t.; and Id. vol. viii. h. t.
