What laws do local councils pass?

National laws
By-laws
International treaties
Federal statutes

The correct answer is: By-laws

Local councils do not have the authority to pass national laws (option A) or international treaties (option C) as these are legislation and agreements that govern at a higher level - typically at the state or federal level. Local councils are only responsible for passing by-laws (option B) which are regulations and rules that govern at the local level. They also do not have the authority to pass federal statutes (option D) as these are laws passed by the federal government.
