Law and its elements

Few people of our society have a negative impact on law. They think that law is something else. Law is nothing but a common sense. To remove their confusion and to update ourselves, we need to know what is law.

Law is the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties. If we see this definition, we will get some elements.

1. System of rules: law consists of some rules that may be created from different sources

For example: Every country has a parliament where members of parliament are selected by citizens and the main function of a parliament is to make laws.

2. Country: No country can run without any law. Man are nasty, brutish in nature. So, to protect from committing crimes, a country needs to make specific law by which a wrong-doer gets punishment if breaks any of the provisions of a specific law. Law is not confined in a country. A community, society or an organization makes laws to move forward in a specific way.

3. Enforcement: There is no use of law without enforcing it so that, in Bangladesh, there are many laws but they failed to ensure the rights of citizens and to fulfill the objects of that law. To enforce a law, our political should give the liberty to the administrative body. Sorrow to say that they are afraid to reduce their power.

4. Punishment: No law can be enforced without providing penalties. Have you ever thought ? What would a wrong-doer do if he had not punished ? It presumes that amount of crimes may reduce if we punish the culprit. But we help the wrong-doer to escape from getting punishment.
