 Law is a system of rules, usually enforced
through a set of institutions. It shapes politics, economics and
society in numerous ways. Contract law regulates everything from
buying a bus ticket to trading swaptions on a derivatives
market. Property law defines rights and obligations related to
transfer and title of personal and real property, for instance,
in mortgaging or renting a home.

Other
theories hold that human rights codify moral behavior
which is a human social product developed by a process
of biological and social evolution associated with Hume.
Human rights are also described as a sociological
pattern of rule setting as in the sociological theory of
law and the work of Weber. These approaches include the
notion that individuals in a society accept rules from
legitimate authority in exchange for security and
economic advantage as in Rawls - a social contract.
This is
held to be true because without civil and political
rights the public cannot assert their economic, social
and cultural rights. Similarly, without livelihoods and
a working society, the public cannot assert or make use
of civil or political rights.

The study of law raises important
questions about equality, fairness and justice, which are
not always simple. In its majestic equality, said the author
Anatole France, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep
under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of
bread.
