The Basic Law of the Macau Special
Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China is the constitution of Macau, replacing the Estatuto
Orgânico de Macau, which was effective since 1976, on December 20,
1999.
In accordance with Article 31 of
the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, Macau has special administrative
region status, which provides constitutional guarantees for implementing the
policy of "one country,
two systems" and the constitutional basis for enacting the
Basic Law of the Macau Special
Administrative Region. The Macau Special Administrative Region is directly
under the authority of the central government of China in Beijing, which controls the foreign policy anddefense of Macau but otherwise grants the region a "high
degree of autonomy." The Basic Law took force on December 20, 1999.
