    Laws are sets of rules that govern society and help maintain peace. The rule of law means that institutions, persons, and entities are held accountable to laws that are publicly known, enforced equally, and judged independently, in line with international human rights. Jurisprudence is the theoretical study of law through Supreme Court decisions, which are binding on lower courts due to the doctrine of stare decisis. The main sources of law in the Philippines are the Constitution, administrative orders, statutes, presidential decrees, and jurisprudence.
