Question

Why should the definition of law emphasize enforcement and are there any circumstances under which a society could exist without law?

Answer 1

The rule of law includes a number of formal and procedural concepts that describe the way a society is regulated. The formal rules concern the generality, transparency, marketing, continuity, and prospectiveness of the norms governing a society. The procedural principles apply to the mechanisms by which these requirements are enforced, as well as the institutions— like courts and an independent judiciary mandated by their administration. The rule of law also contains other fundamental principles on some occasions, such as the presumption of equality and protection of private property rights.

Laws must be open not only in terms of actual promulgation, but also in terms of accessibility and comprehension. Sure, a lot of modern law is highly technical and often the lay person will need professional advice as to what the law requires from him. It is also an important part of the rule of law that a qualified practitioner is required to provide such guidance and that the legislation must be such that practitioners can at least obtain a clear image of what the law requires at any time.

Legislation definitions change every few decades. So does the human undercurrent's recognition of the rules. And what in the past was a real rule is now nonsense. So tomorrow's nonsense will be what's rule for us now.

When we think laws are a code for regulating and manipulating society. Then a culture without rules can't really exist. The lands will be run by hooligans and ruffians. Anarchy is going to reign. Murder and rape are going to be justified. So it's going to be corruption and inequality.

But in the Middle Ages, all of the things mentioned at the top were more recognized as a standard. And in the past, although it was fused together by a particular glue, the culture existed. And it was uncertainty and anxiety that glue.

In modern democratic times, independence powers culture and sticks it to it. And we're seeing it. Before the law, people are equal. At least they think it's like that.
