Quote by Edmund Burke

Laws, like houses, lean on one another.

Laws, like houses, lean on one another.

Summary

This quote suggests that laws are interconnected and interdependent, similar to how houses rely on the support and stability of one another. Just as a house depends on a solid foundation for its structure, laws rely on each other to maintain order and coherence within a legal system. This implies that changes or disruptions in one law can impact the integrity and functioning of the entire legal framework. Therefore, these interconnections emphasize the importance of consistency and harmony among laws to ensure a just and balanced society.
