Distinguish between the basic characteristics of the law and the definitions of
policy briefly and discuss the role that policy documents relating to education have
played in shaping the education landscape as discussed in relevant court decisions.
Basic Characteristics of Law
1. Definition: Law refers to a system of rules created and enforced through social
or governmental institutions to regulate behavior. It is an established system of
principles that dictate what is legally permissible and impermissible.
2. Enforceability: Laws are enforceable by the government and its institutions.
Violations of laws can result in penalties, such as fines, imprisonment, or other
forms of punishment.
3. Authority: Laws derive their authority from a sovereign power, such as the
government or state, and are applicable to all individuals and entities within the
jurisdiction.
4. Consistency and Stability: Laws are typically stable and consistent, providing a
predictable framework for behavior. This consistency is crucial for maintaining
order and justice.
5. Codification: Laws are often codified in written statutes, codes, and legal
documents, making them accessible and understandable to the public.
6. Judicial Interpretation: Courts interpret and apply laws, and their decisions
can set precedents that shape the application of law in future cases.
