Answer:

Societies have established punishments for violating mores in order to protect the social well-being. These serious mores are formalized as laws. Laws are the written rules of conduct enacted and enforced by the government. Most laws enforce mores essential to social stability. Laws, however, may also enforce less severe folkways, such as not parking in spaces reserved for drivers with disabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the exact answer so write it in your own words. I wrote something like "rules made by the government" and I got it right

Laws are essentially certain rules put in place by our government. You must comply with the law or you will face consequences. Some examples of laws are DUI, Murder, Theft, and the many, many Traffic Laws. Everyone knows that you can't drive under influence, you cannot commit murder, you cannot steal, and you must not violate any traffic laws.

I hope this is the answer you're looking for.
