The laws of nature are most perfect and unchangeable.

Explanation

Human laws rise and fall, but the laws of nature admit neither amendment nor repeal — any statute contradicting them is void from the beginning.

Where this applies

• A legislature tries to redefine a fundamental natural right by statute.
• Someone claims that natural law evolves with social trends.
