While some might disagree, I believe that the law makes a country

peaceful and prosperous. The law has this Latin maxim “Dura Lex Sed Lex” which
means, the law is harsh but it is the law. This phrase originated in the 11th century
as a principle of cannon law by Bishop Burchard of Worms.

The law may be hard to observe or difficult to obey, but it tends to control
the actions of every person and must be therefore followed. These laws were
made by the people for their concern for their fellowmen. The law is thus
created to and from the individual, to and from society as a result of primordial
needs. No one is above the law. Rich or poor, we must obey these laws
incorporated within our land in order to attain our desire for social soundness.
But, is it really the law who is harsh? No. The harsh part of the reality of law is that
many people try to break it but do not want the consequences attached to it.

But can we really say that the law is harsh for everybody? Sometimes it
seems implausible to say that law is being acted upon due to the actions of
some corrupt public officers who abused these laws. If only the people would
strictly and harshly implement the laws, not only to the constituents but also to
those people who implements it, then there would be less or at least no more
fear and favor for all the people.

Ignorance of the law excuses no one. As part of the society, you are
presumed to know what the law is since you gave up some of your rights to be
protected. Every action has an equal consequence; therefore, we should be
careful of what we do.
