    It seems obvious that I have free will because I made the decision to eat a slice of cheesecake at 2am. I could have eaten a brownie instead if I wanted to.

An individual can be held morally responsible even in the cases where they lack the free will to choose as Frankfurt contended. Throughout this paper, I will discuss points supporting my thesis, reasons to believe it is valid, examples supporting my opinion, and reasons I believe this is true.

Also in Reuter’s lecture, he defines “Free Will Defense.” He states, “When God, in the beginning, created humans, he made them subject to their own free choice... no…
