Explain acts in the law?

How do they differ from acts of law

An Act is a decree that is approved by the respective legislature i.e. in

India's case State Legislative Assembly or Parliament of India. Law holds
its single purview over the larger picture. An Act is a sub-set of Law.
Law ensures that the people will strictly follow the defined rules and
regulations.

What is Law?

Law is a system of rules enforced through a social institution mainly to

govern the behavior or the conduct of people in a particular society.
Usually, laws are made in a parliament or a legislature as a collective
idea; it could also be a result of a single legislator’s decision. There are
so many laws referring to different situations and common people are
usually aware of these laws and try to adhere to them as possible. Laws
are always easy to understand. They are passed to the general public in
simple language. For example, driving a vehicle without a valid driving
license is against the law. Thus, people know that they should have a
proper license with them while driving. Furthermore, laws help to
maintain social order and they always guide and protect people. If a
person is ill-treated, he/she can seek justice in a law court. If an
individual goes against a particular law, he/she can be punished
accordingly.

A law is always followed by a penalty. Laws exist in almost all the

societies and they are made by an authorized set of people chosen by
the general public, usually the members of the parliament. Moreover,
different societies practice a different set of laws based on their specific
norm systems, which may also change over the time.
What is an Act?

An act is a piece of legislation passed in the parliament in order to

change an existing law or to make a new law. An act is more specific
and more detailed than a law. Usually, an act is a constitutional plan
which is created by the government. It is normally created in the
parliament. The ministers of the parliament have to vote for the act in
order for it to become a law. Until an act gets passed by the parliament
to become a law, it is known as a bill. An act may be applied to a
particular group or a particular part of the society only and that is why
it becomes more specific. An act makes people aware of the
requirements relevant to a particular situation and describes why and
how people should adhere to a certain law. An act, once passed with
higher assent by the members of the parliament, can be changed only
by passing another act. Once an act is annulled, its provisions are not
applied. The parliament of a country has the responsibility to make and
implement acts as needed. Thus, the ideas of the government come to
the public through acts, making them compulsory to follow.
