Law are a system of rules and regulation designed to put limitations on actions that can be hurtful to society, groups, or individuals. It explains the responsibilities one has to society. Without law, there are no limitations to the actions of men. There is anarchy. Laws are instruments of government and social control that protect and regulate the life, liberty, and property of groups and individuals. Laws are written. They are a function of the development of civilization. They shape politics, and the other social interactions between people. Laws are abstract if left unenforced; for a law to be successful in doing what the contents of the law denote, it must be enforced. Laws are enforced by many different types of institutions like police, military, or other government law enforcement organizations. There are laws to regulate all forms of human interaction: Criminal law, tort law, contract law, laws that enumerate civil and human rights, property law, and many other disciplines of law.
