> Is there one singular "point" to laws?

On a high level view probably "to make it work", but that just shifts the problem to what "it" is and what "work" means.

It's easier to look for a priority, I think. When two interests clash (e.g. a fundamental interest of the state and the law), which one is given priority? Since it's the state that enforces the law, I believe the answer is obvious.
