'''Law''' refers to a rule capable of enforcement. The study of law penetrates any boundaries of the [[social sciences]] and [[humanities]]. While not all law is enforced, to be a legitimate law, it must be capable of being enforced. It has been defined as a "system of rules", as an "interpretive concept to achieve justice, as in "[[authority]]" to mediate people's conflicting interests, and even as "the command of a sovereign, backed by the threat of a sanction". Regardless of how it functions, it is a central institution of progressive society.
