* The criminal law of Finland still starts with the words (roughly translated) "''We, Alexander the Third, with the grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of Russia, Tzar of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, etc. etc. etc. decree that...''" and so on and so forth, even though Finland has not been under Russian rule since 1917, and a quite significant portion of the law has changed since.
* Since the Constitution of the United States cannot be changed, only amended, the 18th amendment still establishes the prohibition of alcohol (repealed by the 21st amendment). In theory an amendment can be declared to have never passed (claimed of the 16th amendment by a small number) or be deemed unconstitutional (The 17th Amendment is argued to deprive states of equal representation in the Senate, the one thing an amendment can't do. Support for this claim far exceeds the previous but is still small) and suffer [[Ret-Gone]], but this has never happened and lacks widespread support.
