Do Laws Apply to All?
A law cannot discriminate based on a person’s religion, caste, or gender. The rule of law means that all the laws apply equally to all citizens of the country and no one can be above the law. Neither a government official nor a wealthy person or the President can be above law. Any violence or crime has a specific punishment as well as access through which the guilt of the person can be established.
How Do New Laws Come About?
The exact meaning of the law is open to question, but it is generally understood to be a system of regulations that are made and implemented by social or political organizations to limit behavior.
Laws can be created by a group of legislators or a single lawmaker; the administration can issue judgments and regulations; or courts can set precedents, mainly in jurisdictions of common law. Private parties are allowed to make legally binding agreements such as arbitration clauses that renounce traditional court action as a way to resolve conflicts.
