What Laws Do
There are many laws for many different reasons.
Some laws are to give people the things the government has
decided they should have, like education, or Social Security
checks, or postal service, or new highways. Other laws are
to keep people safe, like when they decide if people should
have flu shots or other immunizations, or if people have
guardians, or if people should have to pay someone back if
they injured the person by accident.
