Abstract

The word "law" is used in several different senses. The English word "law" corresponds to the French word "Droit". A law, in the widest sense, means a rule to which actions conform or should conform. Law therefore suggests a real or desired conformity. One can thus speak loosely of the laws of science, economics, logic, psychology, etc. as well as the laws of nations. In the strict sense, the word "law" means rules of conduct imposed by a state upon its members and enforced by the courts. Such rules of conduct constitute the law of the land, the object of which is to enforce certain standards of behaviour among citizens in the interest of peace and good order. In the strict meaning, the law aims at recurring order: but it is an order or uniformity in the conduct of man which it seeks to secure Laws are rules of conduct laid for the purpose of directing men's actions. In all groups of men acting together for any purpose, some rules must be established for the guidance of the conduct of the members. Unless the scope and limits of the actions of various members of the group be determined by rules, the end, which the group seeks, could not be secured.
