Statutes

Statutes are written laws established by a legislative body, such as a government or parliament, that are formally enacted and codified. They are a form of primary legislation that governs a specific jurisdiction and are typically organized by subject matter. Statutes serve as the foundation for the legal system and provide rules and regulations that citizens must follow. Violating a statute can result in legal consequences, such as fines or imprisonment.
