Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Engineering and Applied Technology LECTURE 1.1: INTRODUCTION TO LAW Department of Geodetic Engineering WHAT IS LAW?  The term “law” means any rule or action or any system of uniformity.  It determines not only the activities of men as rational beings but also the movements or motions of all objects of creation whether animate or inanimate.  It can promulgated and enforced in strict legal sense (state law) and in non-legal sense (divine law, moral law, natural law, and physical law). Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Engineering and Applied Technology LECTURE 1.1: INTRODUCTION TO LAW Department of Geodetic Engineering WHAT IS LAW?  It may be understood in two concepts: o General or Abstract Sense  It may be defined as the mass of obligatory rules established for the purpose of governing the relations of persons in society. o Specific or Material Sense  It may be defined as a rule of conduct, just, obligatory, promulgated by legitimate authority, and of common observance and benefit.

Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Engineering and Applied Technology LECTURE 1.1: INTRODUCTION TO LAW Department of Geodetic Engineering SUBJECTS OF LAW  NATURAL LAW  It is defined as the divine inspiration in man of the sense of justice, fairness and righteousness, not by divine revelation or formal promulgations, but by internal dictates of reason alone.  It is a basic understanding of right and wrong based on an understanding of the fundamental standard or criterion of good and evil.  It is said to be impressed in man as the core of his/her higher self at the very moment of being or perhaps even before that. Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Engineering and Applied Technology LECTURE 1.1: INTRODUCTION TO LAW Department of Geodetic Engineering SUBJECTS OF LAW  MORAL LAW  It is the totality of the norms of good and right conduct growing out of the collective sense of right and wrong of every community.  It is not absolute and varies with the changing of times, conditions, or convictions of people. For example polygamy is considered immoral in the Philippines whereas, it is allowed in some parts of the world.  It influence or shapes the state law. Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Engineering and Applied Technology LECTURE 1.1: INTRODUCTION TO LAW Department of Geodetic Engineering SUBJECTS OF LAW  PHYSICAL LAW  In the operation or course of nature, there are uniformities of actions and orders of sequence which are the physical phenomena that we sense and feel it is known as the laws on physical science or physical law.  It is only called law in analogy, Example: The more conspicuous ones are the law of gravitation and the law of chemical combination. Bulacan Agricultural State College Institute of Engineering and Applied Technology LECTURE 1.1: INTRODUCTION TO LAW Department of Geodetic Engineering SUBJECTS OF LAW  STATE LAW  It is the law that is promulgated and enforced by the state.  This law is also called positive law, municipal law, civil law, or imperative law.  It is the law that we refer to when we speak of law in connection with obligations and contracts, marriage, the administration of justice, the conduct of elections, and the entire governmental process itself.
