    Study Notes

    Conscience and Law

    • Conscience refers to the mind's activity in determining right and wrong.
    • Conscience can be in doubt, and it is not always right.
    • Conscience tells individuals to perform the right act and avoid the wrong act.
    • Conscience is sometimes wrong, and it does not excuse individuals from legal obligations.
    • Ignorance does not excuse individuals from legal obligations.
    • A person is liable for their actions, even if they are new to a country and unaware of its laws.
    • A person is liable for their actions, even if they are acting in fear or due to ignorance.
    • Following the law is not voluntary, and it is necessary to avoid committing crimes.

    Human Acts

    • Human acts are deliberate and can be good or bad.
    • Individuals are responsible for their wrong deeds, even if they are committed due to strong emotions or instincts.

    Law and Government

    • The law should be for the benefit of the people, and lawmakers should be without vested interests.
    • The law should be promulgated to the people, not to animals, and it should be reasonable.
    • Law should be strict enough to make people avoid committing crimes, but it should not be kept secret.

    Situational Examples

    • If someone commits a crime due to too much love, they must be punished because they have the sanity to reflect on their actions.
    • If someone is arrested, they should be asked about the nature of their violation.
    • If a person commits a wrongdoing, they should be punished, even if they are unaware of their actions.
