The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court in Canada, the final court of appeal, and the last legal resort for all litigants; therefore, the Supreme Court of Canada decisions are the ultimate expression and application of Canadian law (Supreme Court of Canada tour). The landmark decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in the R v. Keegstra case regarding the freedom of expression portrays the theoretical concepts behind the court’s ruling as it is the job of the court to deliver a fair decision to the parties involved, as well as a decision that maintains law and order in society. The R v. Keegstra ruling contains insights from the consensus theory and the labelling theory, as the decision of the court was in the interest of the public. To better understand a criminal law case and come up with a conclusion, the theory used must have a valid structure and must follow the rules of critical thinking and logic (Boyd, Cartwright and Heidt, 2015: 120). Also, the purpose of the criminal law must be understood as criminal law serves a purpose, which takes into account some theoretical aspects of the consensus theory and…
In “Reasonable Religious Disagreements,” Richard Feldman posits that two reasonable peers cannot come to a reasonable disagreement. The premise of a “reasonable disagreement” has various conditions, in short being that the peers must be epistemic, and they must have shared all of their evidence pertaining to the argument. By this criteria, it is not plausible for two epistemic peers with access to the same body of evidence to ever reach reasonably different conclusions. However, a problem arises with the previously stated criteria when examining the point regarding full disclosure of evidence. When examining Feldman’s article from this perspective, it is possible that it may not be considered fully viable.…

The defendant himself is quoted as having said “I just left it”1 implying blatant carelessness in his conduct. This solidifies the fact that his direct actions were the cause of the fire, which would support the prosecutors approach to building the case based on this failure to act. However, the decision to apply case law and create a case on the basis of omission is questionable. Alternatively, the prosecutors could have opted for an alternative and less ambiguous route of recklessness and negligence. By doing so, they could argue based on a positive action, which was him recklessly lighting a cigarette indoors rather than his failure to act.…

A context states the opponent’s position may be correct. Wilson implements the importance of religion in the world through his letter. The results of a poll prove that sixty percent of Americans “believe that the prophecies of the book of Revelation are accurate” (Wilson, 2008).
