Laws
established by the legislature. Laws dictate how we as a society act
in concert to protective ourselves, our families, business and civil
rights. There are two forms of laws criminal and civil (common).
Another form of law is international law which controls how nations
interact with one another.
"Tax
law or revenue
law is
an area of legal study in which public or sanctioned
authorities, such as federal, state and municipal
governments (as in the case of the US) use a body of
rules and procedures (laws) to assess and collect taxes in
a legal context. The rates and merits of the various
taxes, imposed by the authorities, are attained via
the political process inherent in these bodies of
power, and not directly attributable to the actual
domain of tax law itself"
