律 regulation

Go write a regulation to RE-TOOL the electoral college. God damn that thing is useless.

laws ★★★★★
法 (law) + 律 (regulation) = 法律 (laws)

rules/discipline ★★★☆☆
規 (criteria) + 律 (regulation) = 規律 (rules/discipline)

literally, "rule," but closer to the English word for "discipline."Rules typically say "don't do this or that," but 規律 give long lists of things you HAVE TO do, in the order you have to do them. Like if you're at military school, you have to get up at 5:30, have your bed made by 5:35, shine your shoes by 5:40, and report to the mess hall.
