Law And Justice

This packet was about how laws are needed to keep a society in control, but also how laws sometimes need to be broken in order for the world to move forward. With complete control of the people our country would not ever think for itself therfore losing its first amendment rights. It also talked about how monarchies are the same as our government only we actually have laws that say its okay for us to do these things and put these punishments into action.
My belief is that rules and laws need to be followed but if it crouching in on someones personal liberties and freedom as a person then the law can be broken. I think it has a lot to do with what John Locke said and his compact theory of government about when and how a government should have power. I very much agree with him and think the guy who wrote this packet does too.
