The future of the law in an ideal society (legal utopia)

“Or do you suppose that the law spring from the oak or rock and not from the characters of the citizens?”

In an ideal society of the future (if such a society is possible at all), the law expects a gradual disappearance and this will be facilitated by at least three circumstances:

A radical change in social relations;
The emergence of a new subject – a legal personality;
Merging law with morality.

Social relations, which cannot exist without threat and violence, objectively determine the existence of the law as an impersonal instrument of coercion, intimidation and punishment. A deep and comprehensive analysis of such law, the study of all its branches, and finally even an answer on the question: “What is law?” will change very little in such social relations.
