INTRODUCTION
In this essay, we will provide a brief explanation of the origin of this, its
meaning, and its various branches of law, its relation to other sciences, as well as the
difference, as the same topic states the Introduction to the study of what law is in all
its aspects.
DEVELOPMENT
To begin this essay, we will first address that there are different
conceptions of what law is, The word comes from the Latin term directum, which
it means not straying from the right path, following the path indicated by the law, what is directed or is
well directed. In general, Law is understood as a set of legal norms created by the
state to regulate the external conduct of men and in case of non-compliance is provided for
of a judicial sanction, however, from my particular point of view it is a legal order that
it supports healthy social coexistence, as well as a means of social control.
Its definition would be that it is a set of legal norms that confer
powers, impose duties and grant rights, and, in general, social coexistence for the
prevention of conflicts or their resolution, based on the criteria of certainty, security, equality,
freedom and justice.
Law has played a very important role in human life. Due to
that man is a social being by nature, feels that imperative need for coexistence.
Therefore, all human relationships must be regulated to avoid conflicts between them.
men present themselves. Over time, they have realized that Law is the best
tool to resolve such conflicts.
Now we will fully enter into Law, to begin with, what is mentioned is the
Objective Law, which is the set of legal norms at a particular historical moment.

Positive that is based on the different foundation of its validity. The natural is worth for itself.
As far as it is essentially fair; the positive is characterized by its content. The validity
the second is conditioned by the occurrence of certain requirements, determinants of
its validity. Every current precept is formally valid.
A fundamental part of Law is its History and it is understood as the history of
law, as the historical-legal discipline that analyzes the set of facts and processes
historical related to the set of legal norms, as well as social uses 'sources',
that is to say, they had a relationship with the law.
When we analyze the law based on needs and objectives of
a given society, we are faced with what are known as the real sources of law. Due to their
Formal sources, as their name indicates, are instruments through which
it aims to understand when and under what conditions a legal norm is valid and obligatory. Among the
Formal sources of law include legislation; the legislative process, which is the set of
acts aimed at the creation of the law. This process includes several phases. the preparation
Specific to the law, we might ask ourselves, who can propose the drafting of a law?
the PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC IN OFFICE, THE CONGRESS OF THE UNION
(understood both chambers), and THE LEGISLATURES OF THE STATES. Now, what
What is the process? The process follows a series of six steps that are described below:
1.- INITIATIVE
2.- DISCUSSION (which concerns both chambers)
3.- APPROVAL (in case both accept)
4.-SANCTION (is in case the executive accepts)
5.- PUBLICATION (act by which the reform is made known and is done in the official newspaper of the
federation and in the local gazettes).
6.- INITIATION OF THE VALIDITY
The above also happens in the event that the drafting of the law progresses.

in the process of the contrary, another series of steps will have to be followed for the reform to be able to
to be published and start the validity. A case in which a law that is causing problems in the
society and in the law not being respected, due to the act of piracy since the law prohibits
strictly this act and punishes it, but on the other hand, we see that most people carry out
or buy counterfeit items which are sold at a very low cost, thus making the preference of the
consumer. This type of problems could be solved if the law (understood as the laws)
it would be done with naturalness and positivity, otherwise the law would be infringed by the
governed and it is when this comes into conflict and gives us problems when we want to follow it to the
pie.
Jurisprudence is an integral part of the current legal order, as it is the
formulation of legal precepts achieved through judicial rulings. when such
resolutions are mandatory in the following cases. in Mexico, the jurisprudences are issued by the
circuit collegiate courts, and the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation; that of the latter is
mandatory for all other courts.
The law is complemented by the normative creation through customary means, the
legal interpretation through general principles and the contributions of scholars of the
law through doctrine. In Mexico, usages and customs are only accepted as in the
case of commercial law, labor law, and financial law among others.
Another topic of the subject Introduction to the Study of Law is the Norms and

of all legal norms is to order coexistence in a society, now the word
society is taken in its proper sense, that of a stable and active union of men aimed at the
achievement of a common end or value. Law is also understood as the Legal Norm issued by the
Legislator and depending on what the laws will regulate, they are classified as: organic laws,
regulatory, ordinary.
The branches of Law are classified according to the generally accepted division.
accepted the law is divided into: Public Law: a set of norms that govern relationships
with other states, it also governs the relationships between the organs of the state and the relationships of
society when acting as a sovereign power, here we have for example the Law

The relationship between State and Law is the idea that the State and Law
they are intertwined, so it is the one where the state is subjected and controlled by the
Law. The Rule of Law is born precisely with the aim of creating a more egalitarian society.

powers of the State. This right is directly related to morality. The elements of

understand the concept of law, as well as its history, since history and law go hand in hand
hand in hand, since when talking about Law, history will always come to light. It is
It is also important to know where and how the law is applied, so that in the matter it
they explain the formal sources of law.
I was also able to understand that, when talking about law, one has to understand the
concepts of laws and norms, since law is a set of norms. Talking about the

how it can be, and where it can be applied.
