Laws lay down the rules by which people in a society should behave with each other and with the state or nation. Many philosophers have tried to explain the reasons for our laws and their beginnings. However, all agree that without laws our society would be lost. If people were free to follow just their own wishes, then there would have been too much pain and confusion. Stronger people would have hurt, robbed, or cheated others without any fear. It would become a miserable animal life with violence ruling the day. The only law then would be the law of the jungle. People would have feared each other and love, respect, and friendship would have taken a back seat. Peace and order in our society can be there only with just laws that are properly followed by everybody. Without peace, our society cannot progress.
