Why do we have law?
There are people who believe that there should be no laws at all. These people are
called anarchists, but it is difficult to imagine how any society would operate without at
least some rules. What if there were no law against stealing; or assault; or murder? What
do you think society would be like? It has been said that without law man's life would be
'brutish, nasty and short'. These are very obvious examples of why we have law, but there
are many other examples. Try imagining what traffic conditions would be like if there
were no law about which side of the road you should drive on ... or ... if everyone could
ignore traffic lights! Most people will agree that this would lead to traffic chaos,
numerous accidents and injuries. Even in other less extreme examples the need for law
can be clearly seen. When items are bought and sold, there must be rules as to what
should happen if the item is faulty. When two people marry, some rules are necessary, for
example, should there be a minimum age at which they can marry? If they divorce, how
should their property be divided? In the world of business, laws on a number of points are
needed. How do you form a company and what are the rules about contracts and
employment?
All these show that a modern society needs laws and the more complex society
becomes the more laws it will need. If you lived alone on a desert island it would not be
necessary to have any laws.
