the common interest in the law during Shakespeare's time, the use of legal language within popular works indicates that lawyers were not the only people educated about the parameters of legal trials.

In the book ‘of the social contract’ by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Rousseau dissects and tries to understand what or whom gives authorities like kings and law makers their power, in doing so he identifies the general will of which he considers to be the main legitimiser of such powers, as will be looked at in detail later in this essay.

Speaking freely and being able to say what people want is taken for granted. To put it another way, many citizens do not realize that this has contributed in making laws and allowing civilians to express what they feel about the government.

Natural law hypothesis is a legitimate hypothesis that perceives law and profound quality as profoundly associated, if not one and the same. Morality identifies with what is good and bad and what is right and wrong. Natural law theorists believe that the human laws are defined by morality and not by an authority figure, like a government or a king. In this way, we humans are guided by our human nature to make sense of what the laws are, and to act in congruity with those laws. The term of…

I would argue that the aims of law can be better manifested under the purposive approach, ‘which seeks to give effect to the purpose of legislation and are prepared to look at much extraneous material that bears upon the background against which the legislation was enacted.’ Under the notion of the Rule of Law, the community should be governed by the law instead of…
