Four types of person known to the law

 Explanatory notes appear below the table.



In the law, evidence is what is capable of bringing a reasonable mind to accept the existence of the fact asserted. 

Persons -  that is,  recognized by laws generally, the basic figures featuring in laws, the actors of law.

Law - traditional usages or edicts which are norms modifying people's behaviors.

Individual - one human being.

Company - more than one human being, but not all of the neighborhood.

Official - the accepted identity of a person reposed with the purpose and power of the combination of all people of the neighborhood.

Divinity -  included because traditional usages and contemporary edicts around the world now and in the past proceed usually with some express reference to religious figures and teachings or God, the latter, after all, the progenitor of the Ten Commandments. 

It is not at all necessary to believe in God to accept the references in the table above.
