Answer 1

Laws are social rules that help maintain order in those situations where our instincts are inadequate.

Answer 2

Our society was based on civil rights, equality and freedom of choice for everyone. People are allowed to act to serve their own interests. But acting in one's own interest can often trample on the rights of someone else. Carried too far, this can result in this theft, violence, embezzelment, and general societal chaos to serve one's own interests.

Laws (and other social norms) are intended to set boundaries of what is reasonable and fair in serving one's own self-interest, while protecting the rights of others.

Answer 3

You you want to cheat and have someone write it for you or at least plagiarize some of what someone writes because you can't think for yourself?

Answer 4

They prevent absolute ciaos. And you should research not ask a bunch of high school drop outs. Try doing your own work, you learn more that way.

Answer 5

This is an adult secret: there are no such things as adults.

There are just two year olds in big bodies who know more and are much stronger. The only reason that we dont act like the typical brutal two year old is because we have been trained to not ACT like two year olds. The same personality is there, the same emotional intention, but it just has more limited means of expression.

The training that limits the expression is not globally effective, and when individual adults act like very smart, very strong, but very destructive and heartless two year olds, the remediative measures that keep more "adults" from acting equally brutal and heartless are called laws. They are meant to reduce our naturally occuring other-destructive and therefore culture/society destructive behaviors.

When a two year old wants something they take it. When an 18 year old decides they want something, lets say someone elses brand new cadillac, and they take it by force, its called theft and aggravated assault. Two year old thieves have their things taken from them, have their hand slapped, and they are put in time-out. Adult thieves have what they took and more taken from them in the form of fines and penalties, and they are put in adult time out in the form of prison. In non-american legal systems adult thieves have their hands physically slapped, or sometimes publicly surgically removed.

When a two year old wants to stick an appendage of theirs into someone else and they act on it, for instance sticking of a finger into anothers eye, they get their appendage slapped, and they are put into time-out. When an adult wants to stick an appendage of theirs into someone else, and they act on it, they get time out, and in some non-american legal systems they can even get the appendage surgically removed.

When a two year old is angry at another two year old, they sometimes act on it by hitting, pinching, biting, or throwing things at the object of their anger. The intention is to inflict harm on their object. The two year old has their hand slapped, and they are put in time out. In severe cases the children are separated for a meaningful length of time. When an adult is angry at another adult, and they act on it with their greater acting capability, they greatly harm or kill the object of their anger. They have their hand slapped (varying in degree from physical beating to execution), and they are put in adult time out separate from the rest of society (varying in duration from a few months to a life-sentence).

The entire goal, or hope, of law is to reduce mans inherent inhumanity to man by punishing and rewarding. The challenge of the law is to have enough insight into the nature of man, and the actions of man to determine what positive and negative incentives are best associated with what behaviors in order to produce the optimal "humanity".

All laws fail because they can only change the external form, or articulation, of an internal intention. They cannot change the nature of man such that the intention is removed.

Areas of life to which laws apply are posessions, physical and emotional self, marriage, children, contract and others.

If you are interested, the legal idea of "an eye for an eye" within an appropriate framework directly leads to "salvation by grace" in such a way that it legitimately fits within the established framework of Christian theology.
