Written laws today are used as the basis for governing societies, providing guidelines on acceptable behavior and consequences for violations. Legal professionals, such as lawyers and judges, interpret and apply written laws to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law in various legal proceedings. Citizens also use written laws to understand their rights and responsibilities within a society.
The two main systems of law in use today are civil law and common law. Civil law is based on a codified set of laws and emphasizes the principles of legal codes and statutes. Common law, on the other hand, relies on judicial decisions and precedents to establish legal principles.
Statutory law is sometimes called Roman law because it is derived from the legal system of ancient Rome. Roman law influenced many modern legal systems, particularly in Europe, and the principles and concepts developed by the Romans form the basis of many statutory laws in use today.
Statutory law is created by legislatures through the passage of statutes and is enforced by the government. Customary law, on the other hand, is based on traditions and practices within a community and is enforced through social norms and expectations. While statutory law is formal and written, customary law is informal and unwritten.
An example of a written law is the U.S. Constitution, which establishes the framework of the federal government, outlines the powers of each branch, and protects the fundamental rights of citizens.
Mesopotamia is the home of the first known written code of law, known as the Code of Hammurabi. It was written around 1754 BC in ancient Babylon.
