Laws help to keep business on task, from hurting consumers, and hurting one another. Laws have control over intrastate, interstate, international business, and e-business. They also control distribution, manufacturing, employment, and shipping. The law protects copyright, patents, and trademarks. Companies are accountable to product safety laws regarding product liability. Product liability is the accountability of manufacturers and sellers concerning death, injuries, or damages because of imperfect products. Antitrust law is another type of business law. It keeps companies from price fixing, market sharing, and industry monopolizing. Business laws control many government agencies. For example, the International Trade Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Law in Society Across all walks of life, law touches every aspect. It begins at birth to define citizenship and ends when a person dies with the dissemination of a will. They affect divorce, marriage, and sometimes pet ownership (Vago, 2009). Laws started as rules used to control individual behavior toward other individuals in society. The rules were aimed mainly toward unethical or wrong behavior that society deem inappropriate.
