ABSTRACT

Law matches government every inch of its course. There is nothing mysterious about law; but the task of unraveling its group intricacies without indulging in an appeal to mysteries is as difficult as any task the people have to face. This chapter merely indicates the way the two words, law and government, correspond and differ in their applications, before going on with the analysis of the facts. The interests that function through government, and that are government in the sense that the governing body is only their instrument or tool, are the same interests that hold law in place and bring changes in the law. Government itself, like the factors indicated by "ideas", is organization, and its representative activities in themselves add to the effectiveness of the process at various stages. Continually this law is being worked up and expanded by the courts to fit variations in circumstances.
