Abstract
N.D. Gupta has proved that groups which satisfy the laws for are abelian. Every law can be written in the form where belong to a free group of rank two, and the normal closure of coincides with . In this work we investigate laws of this form. In particular, we discuss certain classes of laws and show that the metabelian groups which satisfy them are abelian.
