Constitutional law is the body of law which defines the relationship of different entities within a state, namely, the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary.
Not all nation states have codified constitutions, though all such states have a jus commune, or law of the land, that may consist of a variety of imperative and consensual rules. These may include customary law, conventions, statutory law, judge-made law, or international rules and norms.
Constitutional law deals with the fundamental principles by which the
government exercises its authority. In some instances, these principles
grant specific powers to the government, such as the power to tax and
spend for the welfare of the population. Other times, constitutional
principles act to place limits on what the government can do, such as
prohibiting the arrest of an individual without sufficient cause. In
most nations, including the United States, constitutional law is based
on the text of a document ratified at the time the nation came into
being. Some constitutions rely heavily on unwritten rules known as constitutional conventions; their status within constitutional law varies, and the terms of conventions are in some cases strongly contested
Human rights or civil liberties
form a crucial part of a country's constitution and govern the rights
of the individual against the state. Most jurisdictions, like the United States and France, have a codified constitution, with a bill of rights. A recent example is the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union which was intended to be included in the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, that failed to be ratified. Perhaps the most important examp le is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under the UN Charter.
These are intended to ensure basic political, social and economic
standards that a nation state, or intergovernmental body is obliged to
provide to its citizens but many do include its governments.
Some countries like the United Kingdom have no entrenched document setting out fundamental rights; in those jurisdictions the constitution is composed of statute, case law and convention. A case named Entick v. Carrington[2] is a constitutional principle deriving from the common law. John Entick's house was searched and ransacked by Sherriff Carrington. Carrington argued that a warrant from a Government minister, the Earl of Halifax was valid authority, even though there was no statutory provision or court order for it. The court, led by Lord Camden stated that,
"The great end, for which men entered into society, was to secure
their property. That right is preserved sacred and incommunicable in all
instances, where it has not been taken away or abridged by some public
law for the good of the whole. By the laws of England, every invasion of
private property, be it ever so minute, is a trespass... If no excuse
can be found or produced, the silence of the books is an authority
against the defendant, and the plaintiff must have judgment."
Well-conducted, and with good health status.

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
