Abstract: Abstract Laws and regulations touch nearly every aspect of our lives. Most states require children to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. The US Department of Agriculture requires that your “cheese pizza” contain no more than 11% of a cheese substitute. Food containing more than one ingredient can be labeled “organic” only if at least 95% of its contents are organic. Your power company cannot raise its rates without regulatory approval.
