  • Laws
laws go through different processes in parliament to become offical and have 6 point to get passed through. These are all to keep you safe or to improve your country. If you go against any laws you could get fined or worse go to jail.

  • Rules. 
Rules are something your school family or local sport club put in to keep you safe. Rules are not legal.
