Step-by-step explanation:

A legal system is a set of rules brought together by a unifying element, which must be bound by the values of the Constitution and which manages all laws, guidelines, amendments, and procedures related to law enforcement in cases where it has been ignored or denigrated.

The legal system has been evolving through the centuries and has been adapting not only to today's society, but also to advances, scientific, psychological, social, urban and any other that may influence society in any way. For this reason, we can point out that one of the main differences between the current and the classic legal system is that the current legal system applies mild punishments to young offenders and people with mental illness.
