Student ID Number:91403392 'Explain how Natural Law is important for understanding rights' As a nation, we take the rights and freedoms we hold for granted. Daily, we make decisions without interference from the government or the monarchy. In contrast, our ancestors didn’t enjoy the freedoms and rights that we enjoy today and lived their lives under dictatorship and tyranny. However, through The Age Of Enlightenment, philosophers such as John Locke, began to question the suppressing treatment…

Constitution set the branch up so it can makes laws official and enforces the laws. The Executive Branch is made up of the President, Vice President and all the Executive Cabinet members. All the power of the Executive Branch invested to the President of the United States at that time. The president also picks the other members that will be in the…

during times of war, the federal government have to have the authority to deny individual rights and liberties, because the national security is priority than individual rights. In war time, it’s difficult to assimilate both individual right and national security. Some part has to be sacrificed in certain degree and level, it’s inevitable. Without nation, there’s no right to individual, the survival of nation is priority. In the case of discrimination of japanese people during ll World War, the…

Individuals who follow the law of nature will do good upon themselves and others. Hobbes argues that ‘right’ and ‘law’ are separate from one another. “Right consists in the liberty to do or not do…where ‘law’ picks on one of them – either doing or not doing – and commands it” (59). Commanding the law of nature sets a standard on people’s human rights. With this law, human rights are not jeopardized by individuals that live a destructive life. These two Fundamental Laws of Nature enable a form of…

by making laws that everyone must cooperate with in order to keep peace. The government has a great influence on people’s lives. For example, the government can make people happy, can kill people, control peoples’ minds, and provide safety. An example of a corrupt government is in the book 1984 by George Orwell. The book illustrates a totalitarian dystopian society where citizens don’t have freedom, they are constantly brainwashed and watched. Big Brother is…

The 2007 High Court decision in Thomas v Mowbray examined the scope of the Commonwealth’s power to make laws in respect of defence pursuant to s 51(vi) of the Constitution and its capacity to support legislation on the subject of terrorism. This essay will argue that, as a result of the decision in Thomas, the defence power has the potential to undermine fundamental human rights and civil liberties that are unrelated, or at least disproportionate, to defending the threat of terrorism. Section…

Separation of powers are going through an “identity crises” at this time. The rise of international laws that are unregulated and there is no higher authority to check and oversee the countries’ actions can cause even more internal conflicts within our own government because the three branches are unable to agree on how to handle each case. The more international conflicts arise so do new situations and cases that are hot topics within the political realms. Some examples of this, are the…

dives into law. Hart went he positivist route and stated that law and morals were separate. Fuller's response debated that morality was the source of law and its binding authority. I think this debate is not as prevalent and significant as other debates because the Hart-Fuller debate doesn’t just full on disagree with each other, but come to an understanding on certain aspects. A positivist (Hart in this debate) believes that morals and principles should not and do not coincide with law making…

Law, as extension of John Locke’s natural laws, was created in support of the equality of life, liberty, and property. However, any law that deducts unjustly from natural law becomes immoral and corrupt. The justice system as a result throughout history has been modified, amended, and rejected to reflect the societal constructs of moral code. Humanity’s complex and abstract struggle of ideology and the philosophy of what is right and wrong has become a trial of intention versus result. A black…
