There are different types and categories of laws. First of all, separation is carried out depending on the form in which the requirement is expressed. So, there are prohibitions and orders. At the same time, all types of laws expressing the will of the authorities turn to subordinates in the form of requirements. Thus, all of them, being legal norms, constitute (in the broad sense) orders. Moreover, an imperious demand can be expressed either in a negative or in a positive form. Possessing a single desire to form a motive in citizens to coordinate their behavior with regulatory requirements, prohibitions and orders have a significant difference. If the former prompt people to perform specific actions, the latter deter them from certain acts.
Laws and by-laws on the part of the ordered content are divided into supplementary and compulsory. Undoubtedly, all legal norms are coercive. However, there may be a different level of perseverance in meeting requirements. So, some types of laws themselves determine the content of legal relations. Private individuals are deprived of their freedom to determine this content. Other types of laws provide for some conventions in the formulation of requirements, if the relationship is not determined by the will of individuals, which is reflected in some regulatory provision. The behavior of persons in relations with each other within the framework of civil law is determined by their own will within the permitted regulatory limits.
Replenishing orders have a twofold property. So, on the one hand, they retreat to a certain attitude in the presence of the opposite will of private individuals. On the other hand, these types of laws are used in specific relationships in the absence of manifestation by individuals of expressed will.
In accordance with various sanctions, legal norms are divided into several categories. So, for example, there are laws that establish the invalidity of a number of acts committed contrary to legal conditions and oriented towards a known legal outcome. This category of legal norms is considered the most typical for the civil law industry.
There are also laws that, in addition to establishing invalidity, also establish criminal penalties.
One more category includes one more legal norm, which, recognizing the validity of committed unlawful acts, establishes criminal punishment.
In some cases, one speaks of such a group of legal norms that are not associated with any specific consequences. As an example of this situation, experts cite a resolution on the basis of which parents are obliged to send their sons to the service.
Depending on the scope of actions, laws are divided into special and general. In turn, special norms are combined into three groups, which include:
- Laws of an exceptional nature. In this case, norms that exclude the operation of general laws for some cases are considered. In this case, the elimination of general rules of law occurs in relation to a certain group of relations, persons or objects. So, for example, there is a tax exemption for the categories of enterprises being protected.
- Special laws. These norms are opposed to general provisions in the sense that in some cases general norms are replaced by others. So, for example, there are certain types of laws of the Russian Federation (state and civil) for Jews, certain criminal norms for nomadic peoples.
- Individual rates. Their action applies to certain individuals, groups of objects or relationships. In cases where the content of such laws contributes to the formation of benefits, then we are talking about "individual privileges."
