Why Do We Need Laws, Anyway?
By Jane Runyon
  

1     Laws are made to protect people. When two streets cross each other, there is a stop sign. A law says you must stop when you see that stop sign. If you drive through that stop sign, you might hit another car. The people in the other car might be injured or even killed.
 
2     What if you saved your birthday money and bought a brand new bike. The law says that bike is now yours to keep. What if someone else saw that bike and liked it? Could they come and take the bike away from you? They might try. But that is against the law. They could be arrested.
 
3     What if someone decided to pitch a tent on your front yard? Can they do that? No, it is against the law. Your property belongs to you. No one else can claim it.
