Answer:

For example, the right to due process of law and the right to be safe from false imprisonment are protected by procedural laws that limit what the government can do to detect and prosecute crime and keep the peace by ensuring that, when police, prosecutors, and other agents of the government follow procedure, the rights of citizens will be protected.

Answer: Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself. We have laws to help provide for our general safety. These exist at the local, state and national levels, and include things like: Laws about food safety.
