"Without laws, there can be no freedom.
How, for example, could you be free to drive to work if there was no law against anyone bigger than you taking your car just because he felt like it?
Richard"
but then if there were no laws, why would i go to work?
Answer
You are free to choose not to go to work, if you don't mind eventually having to live on the street. That freedom of choice will immediately mean you are not entitled to other freedoms - freedoms which you cannot afford - is your choice - the freedom to choose a crappy standard of living at the bottom of the pile, but what if everyone decided to do that? Who would produce our food, clothing, cars, homes?
Let's take a few laws and see what freedoms they provide:
Law = Crime to steal
Freedom = I can leave my car safely in a car park - unlikely it will be stolen due to protection of this law
Law = Crime to kill
Freedom = My son can beat an opponent in sport in safety - unlikely fanatic father of defeated kid will kill my son due to this law
Law = Traffic infringement to speed
Freedom - I can drive on roads in safety - reduces likelihood of a vehicle blowing me off the highway and over a cliff face
Law = Truancy breach if children do not attend school
Freedom = Education provides the opportunity to be free to choose meaningful employment, to save up and enjoy the freedom of owning a home. Many would not go to school without this law, so society would be full of drop-outs = higher crime rate, higher taxes to support them, etc. which all compromise other freedoms
Law = Crime to rape/other sexual offences.
Freedom = My daughter has the freedom to go to the beach in safety - unlikely some sex-crazed, over-hormoned youth will attack her due to this law
Law = Building codes and Council by-laws
Freedom = Can walk into my home, shopping malls and offices without fear of the foundations collapsing and killing us all - builders less likely to build unsound and dodgey buildings, due to the protection of this law
Law = Smoking prohibited in certain public areas
Freedom = Can eat, drink, relax in places of entertainment etc. knowing it is no risk to my health - people unlikely to smoke where prohibited due to this law
Law = Must wear a seat belt/bike helmet
Freedom = Freedom to travel is not compromised - adds security, minimising likelihood of serious injury in case of accident
Law = Cannot import/manufacture/grow or sell illicit drugs
Freedom = Can enjoy the freedom to attend schools or place of work amongst responsible citizens engaged in industrious pursuits/working/learning/contributing gainfully to personal prosperity and prosperity of country = enables other freedoms of a stable society
The list goes on and on, but I am sure you get the picture by now.
