What is law?

There is no comprehensive definition of law.However,law may be defined as a body of rules which are given by the state(government).It is a command by the state to the individuals or groups or corporations and is enforceable by sanctions.

Some people define law as a set of rules, developed over a long period of time to regulate people’s interaction with each other, and which sets standards of conducts between individuals and other individuals, and individuals and the government.

Are rules always law?

Even if law is a set of rules, it does not necessarily follow that all rules are law.There are rules that govern human behaviour but are not law.Examples of such rules are family rules,sports rules and school rules.

Why do we need law?

There is a need for law so that:-

→Peace and order in the society can be mainted.

→Anarchy can be avoided.

→People can settle their dispute in ammicable manner.

→Social justice is promoted.
