The Administrative
Order of Bahá'u'lláh is in the process of growth and unfoldment. In its
structure and functioning there are aspects which, the Guardian explained,
should be uniform throughout the world. There are also secondary aspects which
can be varied from country to country as decided by the responsible National
Spiritual Assembly in accordance with the needs and conditions in the area
under its jurisdiction. The aspects which must be uniform are set out in the
Constitution of the Universal House of Justice and the Constitutions of the
National and Local Spiritual Assemblies.
