De Legibus

*De Legibus* ("On the Laws") is a philosophical work by Cicero that explores the nature of law and justice. It discusses how humans, as social beings, create laws to promote harmony, order, and morality in society. Cicero emphasizes that true law aligns with natural law—universal principles of right and wrong inherent in nature—and should guide human laws to be fair and just. The work combines ideas from philosophy, politics, and ethics, advocating that laws should reflect reason, virtue, and the common good to foster a well-ordered civilization.
