Meena says that a rule becomes law only if it is made by a body with authority and applies uniformly to all persons within its territory. Which characteristic of law does the 'uniform application' element mainly reflect?
Uniform application reflects the generality of law. A legal rule is framed for everyone within its territory or a defined class, not for a single named person, and compliance is not left to individual choice or agreement.
- AGenerality, meaning the rule applies to all alike and not to one named personCorrect
- BFlexibility, meaning each person may choose whether to follow it
- CVoluntariness, meaning compliance depends on consent
- DPrivacy, meaning it binds only the parties who agree to it
Explanation
Law is general: it is framed for classes of persons and situations, not for a single individual. Compliance under law is not optional, which rules out flexibility and voluntariness. Privacy of agreement is the nature of a contract, not of law as a whole.
