Please subscribes and share with students. Thanks. The term law is derived from the German word meaning fixed or evenly. In political and legal terminology, the term law implies or means rules and regulations enforced by the state. In every modern civilized country, there are certain tenets or rules to govern or regulate the conduct and behaviour of its inhabitant. In every country and society, there exist rules that regulate human conduct. Such rules may be in black and white or in conventions and unwritten and flourish in the form of customs backed by the force of public opinion. Illustrious jurists have defined law in different ways; some of these definitions are given below; Wilson defines “law as that portion of the established thought and habit which has gained distinct and formal recognition in the shape of uniform rules backed by the authority and power of Government”. I.E Holland, “law can be defined as a general rule of external human action enforced by a sovereign political authority. Green regards law as “the system of rights and obligation which the state enforces”. Salmond “law consists of the body of principles recognized and applied by the state in the administration of justice”. To summarize or recapitulate law signifies those rules of human conduct that are enforced by authoritative political institutions and whose breach is dealt with punishment. It consists of six characteristics that are uniformity (applied to the entire civic community or the principle of equality before law), universality, externality, content, formulation and enforcement, Sanction. Thus law is a statement of Do or Do not. As political science is a social science deals with laws without which no harmonious social life is possible. Law is the very essence of the state. A law is a general rule of external action enforced by a sovereign political authority. Law is general rule, meant for all and not for any particular individual or class. It is applicable to all. It regulates external conduct of the people and has nothing to do with their thoughts and desires. It is enforceable by the state machinery of justice.
