ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Basic Law V

Okay, kiddo, let me try to explain the difference between basic law and regular law in a way that's easy for you to understand.

Think of basic law as the most important rules we have to follow as members of a society, like how we should treat others with kindness and respect, or not steal or hurt anyone.

Now, regular law is more like the specific rules that we have to follow in different situations. For example, if you break a window, the regular law will say you have to pay for it. And if you drive too fast and get a ticket, the regular law will say you have to pay a fine.

The basic law is kind of like the foundation of our society, telling us how we should act towards one another, whereas the regular law helps to govern individual actions and behaviors. Both are important and work together to make sure everyone is treated fairly and is held accountable for their actions.
