Politics and law are mutually dependent on each other. Politics consists of three bodies, namely, ‘legislature’, ‘executive’ and ‘judiciary’. The legislature is the law-making body. Therefore law is a part of politics. Politics makes and remakes a law as is demanded by the situation. Without any law a society will go haywire. Harold Lasswell defined politics as who gets what(for example, resources), when does he gets it (in time of need) and how does he gets it. Bernard Crick added,”Politics is a distinctive form of rule whereby people act together through institutionalised procedures to resolve differences, to conciliate diverse interests and values and to make public policies in the pursuit of common purposes”.Law, on the other hand, deals with different types of societal needs, such as international law, constitutional and administrative law, criminal law, contract law, torts and delicts, property law, equity and trust etc. International law deals with the relationship between the nations, looking after the overseas business, capital and labour supply across borders. International laws can be made by the international organisations such as the United Nations, International Labour Organisation, the World Trade Organisation or the International Monetary Fund. Constitutional and administrative law deals with the affairs of the state. It helps with the relationship between legislature, executive, judiciary and the civil rights provided by the constitution. Criminal law deals with the crimes committed against the constitution. The punishment includes paying the fine, penalty or even going to jail. Contract law deals with the violation of different types of contracts and agreements. Property law deals with the violation of two types of properties. Real property, which is also known as the real estate, and personal property. Real property refers to the ownership of a land whereas personal property refers to movable objects or intangible rights. In today’s world people from all over the world are suffering from insecurity. Corruption has taken over and increasing violence is what needs to be taken action against. Laws are made to help people in these crises. Otherwise, people would have taken things into their own hands and the society would have suffered. Laws are there to bring discipline to the system. As the days passes by there arises new crisis, new demands and simultaneously new laws are formed to help with the issues. Politics and law go hand in hand. We all need to contribute in order to run things easier. Corruption should be checked and we need to use our voices more than often, rather than getting violent. The authority of the state should look after their concerning society and together we can bring out a better world for us to live.
