Law

Law refers to a system of rules and guidelines, created and enforced through social or governmental institutions, that regulates behavior within a society. It serves to maintain order, protect individuals and property, promote social justice, and establish standards of conduct. Laws can be enacted by legislatures, interpreted by courts, and enforced by various authorities. They encompass various branches, including criminal law, civil law, constitutional law, and administrative law, each addressing different aspects of social interaction and governance. The rule of law is a fundamental principle, asserting that laws apply equally to all individuals and that no one is above the law.
