13. Why do we have laws?

1. Laws tell us what we MUST do and what we
CANNOT do. They also tell you what your
rights are.
2. A law exists because a majority of the people
in the country agrees with it.
3. Laws are compulsory. You can't choose
which ones you obey and which ones you
ignore. They are backed up by punishment
4. A law exists because it promotes the health
or safety of everyone in society (seat belt)

14. Why do we have laws?

5. Laws protect everybody. Without the
protection of law each person could be under
threat from everyone else in society.
6. A law exists because it helps society to
function more smoothly. Traffic lights are an
example of this sort of law. Because people
obey traffic lights, society works efficiently. If
everyone did whatever they felt like doing at
every intersection, we would have chaos.
