Key Takeaways

  • •The government can create rules to keep people safe from dangerous things.
  • •Breaking these rules is the same as breaking the law.
  • •These rules help make sure things like chemicals are used or sold safely.

Example

A store sells super strong cleaning stuff that can hurt people if they touch it.

The government can make a rule saying this cleaning stuff must have a warning label. If the store sells it without the label, they’re breaking the law.
