This article provides a complex sketch of roles of legislation that helps in creating an equitable and fair society. We are also very open to client’s opinions on how to develop a practical way to realizing a fair society that we all would like to witness.
First, what is Law? The definition of law falls into three categories. (1) Law is a standardized rule system established by the government, (2) Law consists of fundamental customs and usages that order social life, and (3) Law involves principles of justice and right.
The Roles of Legislation in Creating a Fair Society:
· Law in The Society:
The roles of law in a society is to enhance growth, improve the functions of some particular institutions, promoting securities for humans and their properties, access to justice and credit in the society. These laws sometimes tend to be impossible to be implemented in a society. Law serves to reinforce economic relations in the society, it can also be a double-edged sword. It is a device that provides a structure for creating a fair society. Law is a product of social and power relations and it also a tool for reshaping and challenging those relations. Law can create procedures that can increase the society’s policy.
· Law as a Coercive Power:
I think the reason people tend to obey laws is because of the fear of sanctions. When people tend not to adhere to the laws of a society, sanctions can be used to bring in cooperation. This means the coercive power of law leads the people to rethink before taking some actions, due to the government making some actions too costly. People will surely obey the laws as long as the cost of noncompliance is higher than the benefits.
· Stability of Government:
This is another role of legislation in creating a fair society. This is ensuring or maintaining equilibrium between the majority and minority. Law is said to be established to promote the public’s welfare. So when the law favors the majority of the society and not the minority of the society is left out, then this is said to be an unfair society for the minority. This problem tends to be common in a society as it expands. However small societies are easily managed than bigger societies. When cases rise in a small population, it is easier to create a common ground among individuals living in this community because they tend to share common interest in resources, economy, and defense.
· Laws versus Social life:
Most developing countries have incorporated economic and social rights into their constitutions and the people are gradually using these opportunities to advance their developmental goals. Law is a powerful tool of accountability even outside the legal offices.
Conclusion
These roles will help you think through the difficulties of creating a fair society in which we all can have equal opportunities of reaching our full potentials. It also helps understand the effects of freedom in the form of free/fair election and free speech in order to help promote economic security, economic facilities and social opportunities.
