Legal Literacy - Universally, the rules or norms that exist in society are: (1) religious rules/norms; (2) moral rules/norms; (3) etiquette rules/norms; and (4) legal rules/norms.

Religious Rules/Norms

Based on the theory, religious rules are divided into two, namely revealed religion (samawi, sama’i, sky) and cultural religion. Revealed religion is a teaching from God that contains commands, prohibitions, and permissions conveyed to mankind in the form of revelations through angels and His Messengers. Meanwhile, cultural religion is a teaching produced by human thoughts and feelings cumulatively.

Religious rules are guidelines for human life to move towards a better and correct direction. Religious rules regulate human obligations to God. Sanctions for violations of religious rules come from God, both sanctions received directly in the world and in the afterlife.

Examples of religious rules: do not approach adultery, do not kill a soul that Allah has forbidden to kill, honor your parents, do not worship other than the One God, and others.

Moral Rules/Norms

Moral rules are rules of life that come from the human conscience that determines which actions are good and which actions are not good. The origin of moral rules comes from humans themselves. Moral rules encourage people to do good, they do good or bad because of the whisper of their conscience (conscience"). The rules of morality are aimed at the inner attitude of humans. Sanctions for violations of moral rules also come from within the human being, such as feelings of regret, shame, fear, guilt, and so on. Examples of moral rules: honest behavior, respecting and helping each other, and others.

Rules/Norms of Courtesy

Rules of courtesy are rules of life that arise from the social interaction of a particular society. The basis of the rules of courtesy is propriety, appropriateness, and customs that apply to the society in question. The rules of courtesy are aimed at the outward attitude of each actor for the sake of public order and to achieve an atmosphere of familiarity in social interaction. The sanctions obtained if behaving impolitely usually take the form of reprimands or insults or insults or ostracism from the community in which he is located.

The proverb "where the earth is trodden, there the sky is upheld" is very appropriate to describe this rule/norm of courtesy. Examples of rules of courtesy: dressing neatly when attending a formal event, speaking politely to older people, and others.

Legal rules are rules that are officially made by state authorities, binding on everyone and their validity can be enforced by authorized state apparatuses, so that their validity can be maintained.

Legal rules come from outside the human being. Legal rules are aimed primarily at the concrete perpetrators, namely the perpetrators of violations who actually commit the act, not for the perfection of humans, but for public order so that society is orderly, so that there are no victims of crime, so that no crime occurs. The content of the legal rules is aimed at the outward attitude of humans.

Legal rules not only burden a person with obligations alone, but also give a person rights. Legal rules come from the power outside the human being that forces us (heteronomous). Society is officially given the power to impose sanctions or impose punishments. The court is an institution that represents the community to impose punishments.
