The operation of law is a process from creation, implementation to realization. This process mainly includes law-making (legislation), law-abiding (law-abiding), law enforcement (enforcement) and application of law (judiciary).
Laws are enforced by the state;
1. All behavioral rules and social norms are mandatory to a certain extent, but the law is the most mandatory - that is, if it is not enforced , the state will ensure its implementation. Failure to implement - in the light case, deprivation of rights, in serious cases, deprivation of life.
2. The material form of state coercion: a series of state law enforcement agencies: courts, procuratorates, prisons, military, police, etc.
Extended data:
Law first refers to a code of conduct, so standardization is its primary feature. Standardization means that the law provides patterns, standards, styles and directions for people's behavior. At the same time, the law is also general. It is a behavioral pattern that is highly abstracted from a large number of actual concrete behaviors. It is intended for ordinary people and is applied repeatedly.
The law is also universal, that is, the rules of conduct prescribed by the law apply to all citizens in accordance with the law. There are no special requirements other than the law, that is, "everyone is equal before the law." Once they break the law, they will be punished accordingly and receive education and improvement.
Another important feature that distinguishes legal norms from other norms is their rigor. It consists of special logic. The elements that constitute law are legal principles, legal concepts and legal norms. Every legal norm consists of two parts: behavioral patterns and legal consequences. Behavioral patterns refer to the standards and directions provided by law for people's behavior. Among them, there are generally three behavior patterns:
①. Behavior that can be like this is called authorization specification;
②. Behavior that must be like this is called imperative specification;
(3) If there is no such behavior, it is called a prohibitive norm.
