(in the US) yes, every law is understood to be for the protection of the citizens/public AS A WHOLE, and not for the protections of an individual citizen. Although it may not appear that way all the time, that is the premise of a representative form of democracy.
Laws are generally enacted to maintain order, protect the rights of individuals, and promote the common good within a society. While protection of citizens is a significant aspect, laws also serve other functions, such as regulating behavior, resolving disputes, and ensuring justice and fairness for all members of society.
Rousseau believed that citizens should be the authors of society's laws because it promotes the general will and common good of the people. By having a direct say in the laws that govern them, citizens are more likely to feel a sense of ownership and responsibility for their society, leading to a more just and equitable system. This also helps prevent the concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals or groups.
In a care home setting, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are the key laws that regulate the storing, sharing, and recording of information. These laws uphold the rights of residents regarding their personal data, ensuring that it is processed securely and confidentially. Staff must follow strict guidelines to protect the data and only share it when necessary and appropriate.
Two kinds of special laws are local laws, which apply only to specific regions or localities, and private laws, which apply only to specific individuals or groups. They are distinct from general laws that apply to the entire population.
Darius has not gone down in history as a lawmaker. But Persia during his reign had a system of laws based on Hammurabi's earlier Mesopotamian code, that had "King's laws" that were valid for the whole nation next to local laws and customs. The only set of laws that Darius ever ordered was a codification of the laws of Egypt. The basis here remained the ancient Egyptian laws and customs themselves that for the most part had never been properly codified.
The concept that laws should apply equally is known as the principle of equality before the law. This principle ensures that all individuals are subject to the same laws and are treated equally under the legal system, regardless of their social status, wealth, or power. It promotes fairness, justice, and the rule of law in a society.
