My interest is ... Could we (humans) had lived a peaceful soul here on earth without a governing body and no laws?
Without law there will be no society what keeps a society together is law and the government, without law in the society there will be anarchy, someone can come into your house rape your wife and daughter simply because his stronger than you, laws are what guide us in the society and the government is there to implement those laws and punish offenders.
Right from the garden of Eden there has been government in place to oversee the affairs in the garden and Adam was seen as the government in place.
Without law and government the word society will not exist that is to say government and law are very important in a society.
