KPK, kan. 578, 587 § 1). General Statutes however, contain further rules proper for particular Institute. In some institutes they are sometimes called bills. In fact they often are a practical details of the rules of the Constitution. In the Redemptorists Congregation the Constitutions and the General Statutes, according to their nature, are equal for the whole Institute.

These statutes differ between each other in numerous issues, depending on provinces which function on each continent, hence, in different cultural environment. In the General Statutes we can find several dozen rules which can be applied in the provincial statutes.
