Acatar

[poli]

I know you can say cumplir la ley.
Can you say acatar la ley?

[JPablo]

Yes, Sir. You can.
But you can also say, ‘Acato la orden del rey, pero no la cumplo’. (like 'respetar.) (1 tr. Tributar sumisión o respeto a una persona o a las órdenes, consejos, etc., que provienen de ella)
Or, ‘Un buen ciudadano acata las leyes’.
(2 Cumplir o estar dispuesto a cumplir órdenes, disposiciones, leyes, etc. I.e., obedecer, someterse. :)

I know you can say cumplir (con) la ley.
Can you say acatar la ley?

Yes, you can.

They are used pretty much the same in English as in Spanish.

That phrase is longer but it says almost the same that the first answer.
