Negative Brief - Freedom According to the Law

Value: Freedom According to the Law

Who makes laws?
Men?
Are men perfect?
By extension, are their laws ever going to be perfect?
Do men like freedom?
Would we like perfect freedom?
But your value is freedom according to the law, which you said was never perfect?
So we can never fully achieve freedom according to the law?

California is trying to legalize marijuana so they can tax the trafficking of it. Is it right to be able to sell marijuana to people who are addicted even though it is legal? Freedom under the law has the potential to be just as wrong as absolute freedom.

“Experience has shown, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny” -Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson obviously knows that no matter how hard a government tries, it will eventually degenerate. This could result in laws that legalize and grant freedoms that ought not to be granted.

i dont know if I would go with the term perfect if i was you because they can easily judge your value by the same standard and you would probably be forced to give the same answer.
