Jump to navigation Jump to search

Under the common law system, it is illegal to cause nuisance, or intentionally cause great inconveniences, to the public. It is because western governments, during peaceful (not having a war) times, would rather maintain social order. They have to protect the rights of ordinary citizens.[1] [2]
