Introduction

The rule of law are distinguished from other social regulators of social relations, which is caused by a form of expression, because no matter how precise and clear nor were their requirements they will only exercise in logic is not yet acquire the appropriate form a regulatory act without precedent, regulatory contract, and so on. d. In order to become a real and effective performance of its functions (regulatory, enforcement, and others.) The right must have an external expression, a certain form or source.

Source of law can be figuratively represented as a container in which to place the rule of law, sources are a way to secure the existence of rules. In this case, there is an external view of a form of expression of public will outward. The concept of sources of law has existed for many centuries and in its history, it has undergone many changes since differently interpreted and applied by legal scholars of all countries.

The importance of sources of law is great for strengthening the rule of law in a state of law, which is especially important at the present time in our country. Perfection sources depend on the level of theoretical ideas about them and the quality of all types of legal practice. Legal practice in turn guided the sources of law in dealing with legal matters.
