What is the Law?

In most cases, the Law is defined as an enforseable rule that governs the behavior of a society or groups or an individual. 

With such an approach, it does not matter, the fact that in the US and some Western countries these rules are called "the enforceable body of rules", and in Eastern Europe these rules are called "the system of legal norms." 

Another an important thing is do an important. These definitions of a law mainly give an understanding of the place and role of law in society and answer the questions: "What does the Law do?" Or "How does the Law happens?". 

But these definitions of a law do not answer the question: "What is the Law?" The also do not lead to knowledge about the Law. 

Paraphrasing Socrates, one can say that the question is not what the Law makes or how the Law happens. 

After all, we ask the questions in order to find out what is the Law in itself. 

We wanted to know the nature of the Law in the abstract. 

Hence, in the mysterious semi-darkness of the origin of the Law, we can clearly see at least two mutually exclusive things - the alleged sacredness of the Law and its formal certainty.
