Assignment: Discuss the classification and sources of law in your own words. Law can be defined as a rule of human behavior that is imposed and enforced upon the land or state. Laws were created to ensure order and peace amongst people. Unfortunately, the greater amount of people there are, the more complex the laws will be. If laws were to be disobeyed, there are repercussions for disobedience which will enforce order. The concept of law can be established under two focus points, which are Order and Compulsion, Order being the sense of a method of system and compulsion which is the enforcement of compliance with the law.
The definition of law can be described by several components that explain the concept of law. Some of the components are that law is a body of rules, law is for guidance for of human conduct, law is imposed, enforcement, content of law, and justice and the law.
Law as a body of rules is formed in two ways, by the custom of the people and by statute, which is law that has been passed in parliament. For example in The Bahamas, the Business License Act and the Bail Act. Law as a guide for human conduct, which is simply rules of how people should conduct themselves throughout their lives. Laws for human conduct are primarily based on moral rules and ethics which serve as a reminder that it is nefarious and dishonest to tell lies, covet and to be drunk in private.
Law is also imposed, which means the law is to be obeyed because it is laid down by parliament which is the supreme authority. Enforcement of the law is very important because without it, law becomes dead or worthless. The law is also not set in stone; it adapts and changes as time passes. Archaic laws are often revised or removed completely to adapt to the ever changing world. Some circumstances in which the law changes are because of an invasion contact with other races, material prosperity, education, advent of new machines, and new ideas or new
