Morality & Law
[ send me this paper ]
Reconciling personal morality with the letter of the law in issues of criminality often comes into play when considering legal ordinances and their constitutionality. More often then not, though, the moral arguments are more compelling and often mark the perceptions of the populous. This 6 page paper provides an overview of a legal issue regarding the societal perspectives on morality and the application of an 'anti-smut' ordinance designed to prevent the pursuit of certain religious beliefs and the display of a pertinent statue in a small community. This paper considers both sides of the issue and then relates the most compelling legal (not constitutional) arguments as they are related through the theories of John Stuart Mill, Lord Patrick Devlin, and Graham Hughes. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
