  1. @SGTPeper1001 Social rules are prescriptive laws, but not all prescriptive laws have to be social rules. Computer programming also has prescriptive rules for example. The difference between prescriptive and descriptive laws is that prescriptive laws can be broken and descriptive laws can't. Once a descriptive law is broken, the law stops describing the event.

  3. The laws of natural selection are a descriptive law, not a prescriptive law. With other words, they're used as an abstract model to describe what happens instead of a law that is imposed from 'above'.
