Why do we need a law? Give reasons.

Answer:

Law in society is not something which arises from outside the borders of society. It is in reality a fundamental concept of society. The law represents society’s norms and is what is good, equal and fair as per the society. Each society has its own rules, but with the modification in society’s norms, these rules alter. In society, law is needed for major reasons:

• To govern the behaviour of people in accordance with society’s norms including contract laws, regulatory laws, prohibition laws, personal laws etc
• To balance the damage done by the victim against the person and society in general.
• Gathering and extracting profits from the masses by using taxation laws.
