Statutes

Statutes are laws enacted by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. They are formal written rules that govern how society operates and outline rights and responsibilities for individuals and organizations. Statutes can cover a wide range of topics, from criminal justice to business regulations. Once passed, they must be followed unless they are overturned or repealed. Statutes provide clarity and consistency in the legal system, ensuring that everyone is aware of and held to the same legal standards.
