Conservation Laws are a consequence of underlying symmetries. See
Noether's Theorem.
(Linear) Momentum is conserved because of the translational symmetry of
physical laws. Angular Momentum is conserved because of the the angular
symmetry of physical laws. Energy is conserved because of the time
symmetry of physical laws.
