Abstract:
The article “The Evolution of Law: A Scientific Perspective on Society’s Legal Framework” analyzes the scientific foundations of legal systems in society and their historical development. It covers the formation of modern constitutional governance from ancient times, in particular, through the Code of Hammurabi and the Magna Carta of 1215. The author explains the scientific approach to law - that is, the theory of legal realism based on empirical data - and shows the importance of this approach in making legal decisions. The article also analyzes the role of modern technologies - artificial intelligence and blockchain systems - in the legal sphere. Although they increase efficiency by automating legal processes and digitizing contracts, they also raise issues of ethical and legal responsibility.

In conclusion, the article emphasizes the need for the constant evolution of law - to ensure a balance between innovation and order, while maintaining the principles of justice, integrity,and accountability.
