Law and Leadership

A Law is generally conceived as an impersonal prohibition.  However, as defining a mode of behavior, it is individual, and tax-paying, military service, and parent-honoring, are examples of positive content in a Law.  So, a Law can be analyzed as a communication between Ruler and Subject.  But, insofar as compliance is mandatory, it is antithetical to the Leader-Follower relation, in which the conduct of the latter can only be voluntary.
