1. Please explain the differences between the Letter of the Law, the Spirit of the Law, and the Living Law. Choose a specific law (i.e. traffic codes, voting) and analyze it by applying these three concepts. What happens when all three concepts are in line with each other, and, alternatively, what happens when they do not align?
2. Explain the functions of the three branches of government and why it is important that we have separate branches. Similarly, why are there so many levels of appeals in our court system?
