LAW AND SOCIETY

 

1. When the world was at a very primitive stage, there was no law. In the absence of law people could rely on the law of the jungle. It meant that the stronger man could do what he liked with the weaker. People lived with the fear of being kidnapped, robbed or murdered.

2. Members of every community made laws for themselves in self-protection. Law is necessary in the interests of the whole society. Rules or laws are drawn up to ensure that members of the society may live and work together in an orderly and peaceable manner.

3.Unfortunately, it is not an easy thing to make satisfactory laws. No country has produced perfect laws yet. However, no law can please everyone. But, in any case imperfect laws are better than no law.

4. Law may be defined as a rule of human conduct enforced by the state. If the rules or laws are broken, compulsion is used to enforce obedience.

Much of law was formed out of the customs of the people. But a great part of the law has been created by statute. The laws made by the government of one country are often very different from the laws of another country. Law today is, to a large extent, a complex of different and relatively independent national systems.
