No man-made law can or should ever be given the authority to assert that it is superior to the Natural Law from which it derives and to which it must inevitably return in the eternal cycle of creation and decline of all things natural, regardless of whether it was derived from the past or projected onto a distant, unforeseeable future. - WILHELM REICH
Laws and legal systems are watchdogs for justice, equity, and the peaceful existence of citizens, organizations, and countries as well. Although most of the laws are stemmed from a sense of natural justice, each nation’s legal system has a distinct source of law. Multiple sources of law have different weights with greater stress on some sources than another1. Sources of laws can be broadly divided broadly into two categories Material and formal.
Constitution
The Constitution of a nation establishes the fundamental guidelines for how the three institutions of government—executive, legislative, and judicial—operate and relate to one another. In Civil Law systems, "Codes" are typically used to represent these rules. A constitution supersedes all other sources of law, and it is typically very challenging to change.
