QUESTION 1
1.1 Define the concept of “the law”. (3) – P17
The ""law"" can be defined as the only body of rules governing human
conduct that is recognised by the state and that can be enforced.
The law is a set of legal rules that govern human behaviour.
Law in the strict sense is the only body of rules governing human conduct
that is recognised by the state and, if necessary, enforced.
1.2 Name and discuss the two functions of the law. (2) – P17
The law is there to serve the people.
• The law serves to maintain peace and order in a society by means of
criminal sanction.
• The law serves to balance the interests of the individual and those of
the community at large in order to achieve a peaceful society. The law
also has to regulate the mutual relationship between individuals (legal
subjects).
1.3 Explain the principle of equality before the law. (3) – P7
"Equality before the law" has come to be regarded as the essence of
justice. The principle of equality before the law means, for example, that
courts should treat all litigants equally, regardless of their race, colour,
creed or sex.
