Legal Definitions - body

Body can refer to:

1. The main part of a written document, such as a law or legal complaint.
2. A collection of laws, also known as a body of laws.
3. An artificial person created by a legal authority, such as a corporation.
4. An aggregate of individuals or groups, such as a body politic.
5. A deliberative assembly, such as a legislative body.
6. An aggregate of individuals or groups, such as a student body.
7. The main part of a claim.

One example of body is the main part of a law, which comes after the title and preamble. This part of the law contains the actual rules and regulations that must be followed.

Another example is a corporation, which is an artificial person created by a legal authority. This means that a corporation has many of the same rights and responsibilities as a real person, such as the ability to enter into contracts and sue or be sued.

A third example is a student body, which is an aggregate of individuals or groups who attend a particular school. This can include all students at the school, or just a specific group of students such as the senior class.

These examples illustrate how body can refer to different types of entities, including written documents, legal entities, and groups of people.
