Laws are rules made by the government that forbid certain actions and are enforced by the courts. Laws apply to everyone equally.
What is happened if you break the law?
If you break the law, you may have to pay a fine, pay for the damage you have done, or go to jail. Imagine the chaos, and the danger, if there were no laws. The strongest people would be in control and people would live in fear. Drivers could choose which side of the street to drive on and no one could stop them.
Imagine trying to buy and sell goods if no one had to keep promises, or trying to hold onto your property, or even to keep yourself safe if there were no laws against robbery or assault.
Even in a well-ordered society, people disagree, and conflicts arise.
