What is the importance of laws in society?

 Law is needed to keep the peace in a society where individual freedom is valued. Without the law, we would experience havoc and chaos. We require the law as it warrants order and stability within our society. It helps us to consistently base our decisions on the patterns of social morality that we see within society. We conform to society's expectations. This is the act of abiding to the law. 

To regulate the conduct and behavior of individuals in Society is one important objective. Thanks.
