Why should you follow the law?

It is because I do not want life to be annoying, savage and short lived. We live in a social contract model that began in the age of enlightenment, but we will give freedom to authority and protect the rest. Clearly, the difficulty lies in deciding which freedom to give up and which freedom to keep.

A good discussion about social contract theory, including reference to Hobbes used in the above section, can be found here. {Social Contract} For more information you may want to know what you can go here: {Internet encyclopedia}

As a simple example, I like driving a well-maintained road and bridge, educating young people, and providing services for the elderly, the poor, and the frail. These things, especially for many governments, need to be done by the government. So, I will pay the tax. I gave up some freedom in the form of money, so I can live in a place where I can guarantee freedom from roads or freedom, illiterate children and troublesome places It was. (Ideally, of course)

I also like to feel safe with my people and my property who need the power of the police. Here, regardless of the influence of others, I give up doing whatever I want to do and protect me from others. This is more serious surrender, if you wish, this includes limiting my behavior rather than giving up my money. But if I want to live in the right place where your nose begins to shake your fist, I also have to control my fist.

(Incidentally, an interesting discussion about the origin of this phrase can be found here: {Your freedom starts your fist to start my nose}. You may be surprised at the place of birth I am doing it.)

Well, I will return to the question as to why you should obey the law. They protect us from illegal believers' actions. This is only valid if everyone agrees more or less. Therefore, if it is a concept of "contract", if a negative result comes out,

Please note that I did not mention blindly obeying the law in this answer - it should be, it is a continuation to distinguish between freedom of surrender and protected freedom It should be a struggle. It is never "always subject to all laws" or "it is always subject to the situation" - it is always a balanced act.

Last thought: You drive away from anyone at night, you come to the red light at the abandoned intersection. Before you drive, are you waiting for the stop and light turning green? If so, you are following the contract

If anyone can enter the country and live here in violation of the legal process and still be able to give citizenship, please tell me. Your parents will survive the process in accordance with the law; if others get citizenship without doing this, will not your parents fool? In 1986, the country violated the law and gave citizenship to 3 million people. What will this solve? Over the next ten years, one million people came here every year in violation of the law and was seeking the same amnesty. Given that we now give citizenship and all millions of families to all of them, I think that more people will invade our country in violation of our laws and seek their citizenship Do you? Use common sense

If you are arrested, there is a high possibility of getting a ticket, so there are some laws to actually follow. I have listed nine of the most frequently violated driving rules from Florida's road safety and the automotive division. These are actual traffic reference statistics. These people actually receive tickets for these law violations. Of course, you can drive this ticket slowly. These people may not know where they are heading and they will slowly drive or stop suddenly when they are looking for a particular street. Or maybe they are enjoying hindered driving slowly on Sunday drivers who prefer to drive faster

If you are working in the country, you should abide by their laws. If there is a moral opposition to a specific law it may be necessary to ask yourself whether this country is suitable for you. If you do not like tax as you are working hard, then we may need to consider the meaning of tax. Like your country of origin, you do not comment on how money is used, and some of them may fall into politicians and their friends' pockets. On the other hand, it will pay for what you use like the way you drive, and for the foundation that provides basic human rights to the country's population like education and health care.
