Vanguard News A timely discourse on fundamental rights [opinion] On By Adewale Kupoluyi In our society today, many things are taken for granted. It becomes a problem when people are ignorant of the law for they are not only cheated, violators walk freely, and the law is disrespected. What happens is that chaos, indiscipline, jungle justice and lawlessness become the order of the day. To ensure that sanity, peace, and orderliness prevail in our country, the need to bring to the front burner, a platform to talk about fundamental rights, beckons. Before we go into doing that, it is useful to look at the meaning of law from some perspectives, jurisprudence and schools of thought. The Natural School of Thought believes that a court of justice decides all the laws; Positivists definition of law states that it is the aggregate set of rules set by a man that must be obeyed. The historical law definition sees law as a matter of unconscious and organic growth; the sociological assumption of law views it as a means of social control, while the Realists define law in terms of judicial processes, among other definitions.
