Law is a natural and logical science that deals with what is right or wrong. typically, if something is wrong, it is against the law, and, breaking the law means you get penalized. This could mean time in jail, or a fine, among other things.

So, what are the typical pillars of law? all laws are similar to the ten commandments, even though the law has strayed away from religious undertones and merely resembles the ten commandments. here are my ideas of justified laws;

[1] Society is at stake. if society or anyone inside of it is harmed in any financial or health related way, then the law has been broken. this would mean that the person needs help, and, the services provided should try to help them as best they can. if you are able to help them, yet do not, that is okay - it is a free country, yet if it is your duty to help them, be you a social worker or police person, then you must help them as best you can.

[2] To lie is against the law. if you give testimony that something happened or did not happen, and that is false, then you must know you are on the wrong side of the law. the law may press charges onto you if you do such a thing.

[3] Denying your dependents services when you can supply them is against the law, unless 'times are tough.' this would show that you cannot buy clothes for your dependents, or supply them other basic services or goods.

[4] Cooperate with the law. if you have a chance to help the law, it is fine if you do not, but, being summoned by the law to help is a duty that every citizen should partake in. if you were to know of a crime, yet not come forwards with information, then you are an accomplice.

[5] Property in the first world is a right to be owned. all forms of property are owned by someone or other, and, they need to be allowed to their property. if someone denies them this right, then they have broken the law.

[6] Taxation must be paid to supply services to others. failing this means you are outside of the society that supports you, and you have broken the law. cheating your taxes means you have broken the law.

You might want to alter [6] by allowing taxes to be used only for public goods (economic meaning).
