Code of laws

A code of laws is a systematic collection of written rules and principles that govern a society. It serves as a framework for legal standards, outlining rights, responsibilities, and punishments for individuals and organizations. Codes of laws are designed to ensure justice, maintain order, and protect citizens by providing clear guidelines for behavior. Examples include the Napoleonic Code and the Uniform Commercial Code. Each code reflects the values and needs of the society it serves, and it helps judges, lawyers, and citizens understand the law and its application in daily life.
