Statues

Statutes are laws enacted by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. They establish rules and principles that govern society, addressing issues like rights, responsibilities, and behaviors. Once passed, statutes serve as formal, written laws that must be followed and are enforceable by courts. They can cover a wide range of topics, from criminal offenses to business regulations, and often provide details that help interpret or implement the broader principles set out in the Constitution or foundational legal framework.
