secure the personal safety of its subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of

violence. They are made to secure the property of the citizens against theft

and damage to protect the rights of communities and castes to carry their

customs and ceremonies, so long as they do not conflict with the rights of

others. Now the good citizen, of his own free will obey these laws and he
