Can Society Function Without Laws?
Without order and law, society would be inscrutable. To maintain humanity, laws are needed to protect the citizens from showing signs of enmity towards one another. Laws protect basic human rights and make sure that citizens are safe from others who may try to harm them. The upheaval from all the chaos that would occur could seriously effect societies thoughts and actions. What would be illegal, like stealing something from a store, would be an everyday thing and people would think that was normal. Everyone's indignation would eventually make them turn against each other which would lead to murders and car accidents. Those actions would put everyone on edge and the society as a whole would be furtive all the time.
If laws were never set in place, the world would never have assented on anything. All happy and pleasant emotions like ebullience would not exist. Recrimination of a crime and getting punished would not be a thing anyone would experience which means you could get away with anything.
The government controls and supervises the country with the laws they put in place. They make sure everyone's safe and decorous people from committing crimes. The laws also help people from becoming riotous. Therefore, It would not be possible to live without laws and a government to enforce them.
