Laws and statutes

Laws are rules created and enforced by governments to maintain order, protect rights, and promote justice within society. Statutes are written laws passed by legislative bodies like parliaments or Congress. They specify specific rules and regulations, such as traffic laws or tax codes. When a statute is enacted, it becomes part of the legal framework everyone must follow. In essence, laws and statutes set the legal standards that guide behavior, determine what is acceptable or illegal, and provide mechanisms for resolving disputes. They help ensure fairness, safety, and stability in society.
