What would happen if there were no laws?

Answer 1

Law is necessary for a regulated society. Just imagine how many lives would be lost if we didn't have control on drugs or how many people would get killed and the criminals would get away with it if we didn't have a criminal justice system. Imagine the danger and chaos if drivers got to choose where they could drive to and on what side of the street they could drive on. These are just some examples of what would happen if we didn't have the necessary basic laws.

Answer 2

Society would break down.

People all say at one time or another that they would favor having no laws but don't believe it. Think, and I mean really think about all the laws we have. Now, think about all those times the Cops get called...fights, loud noise, dogs barking (I love this one...what can they do about the dog...duck tape it???), kids, parties, bars, shop lifting, stealing, medical emergencies....you can go on & on until you are blue in the face. No laws

no common sense, no curbing ridiculous actions....for example, what stops a grocery store from selling a case of H20 during a Hurricane/Blizzard or other serious disaster at an exorbitant price? You think its because they couldn't get the $$ for it? How about when the sewers get flooded in your Town/City...who is going to come out and take care of that without laws in place? Say, Let's all go throw our batteries & leftover paint into the Town/City water supply sources...NO? Yeah, I didn't think so. Most people do not realize how much LAW is needed to make it just on an every day basis, so that each & every one of us can have some resemblance of a normal life. Think about what you do every day from start to finish and you will see how much LAW affects your life.

Another perspective:Without written laws there is natural law. In the absence of man-made laws, individual men make the law; anarchy ensues. Eventually, people eliminate those things that annoy them the most, and only one remains. In the event of anarchy, I will be the last to remain.

Answer 4

everything would be ruined and you would have to live a bad life. you wouldnt go to jail because you wouldnt break any law. everything would be a disaster because delincuents would live there.

Answer 5

Society will fall apart, humans will turn on one another and life as we know it will cease to exist.

We call it "Anarchy".

----------------------------

I expect the first thing would happen is that some one would start making new rules and thinking of how they could turn them into laws.

Answer 6

Go online and look at some of the third world countries like Somalia. Chaos rules because there is no government or laws. If you like going out to a movie, shopping, jogging in the park, or just sitting around then you want government and laws. To have a society where people can live, own a home, driven a car, go to school, and feel safe laws are needed. When man first began to form societies and groups one reason they did so because they were safer together and could make rules for living.

total chaos
