The Nature of Law: Distinguishing Natural and Artificial Laws

Understanding Law

Law is defined as a natural necessity for an action or entity. Since laws are rooted in natural necessities, they inherently exist and are discovered through the observation of nature. This understanding leads to several key principles:

       No individual or group has the ability to create or alter laws; the act of lawmaking is a misconception.

       Laws are immutable; they do not change and are therefore firm, indisputable, and conclusive.

       Laws are applicable only under specific conditions or environments.

For example, in order to keep an object above the ground, proper support is required. This necessity is the law governing objects suspended above the ground. If this law is ignored, the object will fall. No reasonable person can invent, change, or dispute such a rule. However, this law does not apply universally for instance, a helium-filled balloon defies this rule because laws are only valid within their relevant environment.

Another example is the composition of water, which requires both oxygen and hydrogen. If either element is missing, water cannot exist. No one can create or change this law; it is a natural requirement.

The Role of Law in Society and Science

Science and peaceful societies are founded upon natural laws. Without these laws, the advancement of scientific knowledge and the maintenance of social peace would be impossible. As such, law is regarded as the most crucial form of knowledge and the ultimate source of power. However, in political environments, two distinct kinds of laws come into conflict: natural laws and artificial laws.

Understanding the difference between natural laws and artificial laws is of vital importance. In peaceful societies, natural laws serve as justice laws.

Justice Laws

Justice laws represent the necessities requirements or rules of natural justice. The singular term "law" refers specifically to justice, while "laws" denotes the principles of law or the rules of justice. Natural justice is characterized by the recognition that every individual owns and controls their own body, and thus, no one has the right to control or exploit others. In societies governed by natural justice, all people share equal rights under the law and live peacefully. No one stands above the law, nor does anyone deceive others into believing they are lawmakers.

Despite this, politicians in many societies have misled people into accepting them as lawmakers, enforcing their rules as if they were genuine laws. This deception has contributed to a society rife with corruption and crime. The purpose of this website is to raise public awareness regarding the importance of distinguishing real laws from fabricated ones, to seek solutions within the framework of the law, and to prevent violent upheaval.

Fundamental Principles of Law (The Rules of Justice)

1.      The law is the ultimate power. No one is above the law; therefore, no one should take the law into their own hands.

2.      The rules of law are consistent and never contradict one another.

3.      No actions should be taken against the law or the truth.

4.      There are no inherently right or wrong actions; the morality of an action depends on the circumstances, which is why trials are necessary.

5.      Every person is the owner and controller of their body and is responsible for their actions, except in cases of mental incapacity.

6.      The free consent of a victim resolves a crime; silence is considered tacit consent to a crime.

7.      Victims have a duty to take action against criminals; those who neglect this duty enable criminal behavior.

8.      Misleading or deceiving the public is the most severe crime against society, as it impairs the ability of individuals to protect themselves from harm.

9.      Everyone has the right to use and share natural land and resources; no one can claim exclusive ownership of them.

10. Corruption and crime cannot be prevented where wrongdoers are not deterred through due process.

Democracy and the Application of Natural Justice

Democracy is defined as self-government by the people according to the rules of natural justice. In a true democracy, no one is above the law, and no one can unilaterally make or break laws. However, in a corrupt democracy, politicians place themselves above the law, creating and disregarding laws as they please and escaping accountability because the public has been deceived into believing that lawmaking is a public service rather than a crime. As a result, people fail in their duty to challenge wrongdoing and, in some cases, support corrupt politicians through voting.

When politicians are permitted to mislead the public and wield unchecked power, the principles of natural justice cannot be upheld. Individuals who neglect their duty to oppose criminal behavior and instead submit to unjust rules share responsibility for the resulting corruption.

Justice laws are only effective if the public actively protects them. When people are convinced that justice does not exist and fail to defend the law, the law ceases to function, allowing those with power and wealth to exploit society freely.

Artificial Laws

Artificial laws are those created by humans. These manmade laws are considered artificial and, by definition, not true laws. Despite this, societies often mistakenly accept politicians as lawmakers, and artificial laws are enforced as if they possessed the same authority as natural laws.

Political laws are rules set up by politicians. Because no one is above the law, no one has the legitimate authority to create, change, or abolish laws. Lawmaking itself is viewed as a deception and logical contradiction, as it requires one to stand above and violate existing law. In this sense, anyone who acts above the law is, by definition, committing a crime.

Nevertheless, the majority of people are misled into believing in the legitimacy of lawmakers. This allows politicians to fabricate rules for their own benefit and enforce them for personal or political gain. When victims remain silent and comply with artificial laws, their lack of resistance is interpreted as consent, legitimizing the actions of those in power. In societies where such lawmaking is not recognized as criminal, lawmakers are free to create rules that legalize a wide range of exploitative practices, such as financial extortion, forced labor, and fraudulent business schemes. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the true nature of law and to raise public awareness about the dangers of artificial lawmaking for the protection of society.
