Answer 1

1. Law is a pure science based on unchanging and universal truths.

Law has evolved slowly and will continue to change, because it is not a pure science that is based upon unchanging and universal truths, but it results from a continuous striving to develop a workable set of rules that balance the individual and group rights of a society.
