law, principle

Definition

A law is a legal rule that is typically written down and enforced by someone in authority. A principle is a guideline or standard for decision-making.

  • Both "law" and "principle" can refer to a general rule or belief that guides a person's behavior.
  • This meaning of "law" is different from the law of Moses.
  • When a general law is being referred to, "law" could be translated as "principle" or "general rule."
