Law & Regulation

A law is a rule recognized as binding and enforced by authority. Governments decide on lasting policies and create laws to ensure that society follows those policies. The phrase “the law” is used to refer to the entire body of laws of a jurisdiction, as in the phrase “theft is against the law”. In modern governments, laws are made according to some well-defined “legislative” (law-creating) process. A regulation is similar to a law. Regulations are used to fill in details that are not established in laws. Regulations are usually created through different processes than laws, by experts rather than generalists and small committee decisions more than large group votes.
