Fundamentals of Law-3 separate short essays
Short Essay 1 Explain what “morality, knowledge, and religion” meant to those in the founding era, and why it was believed our nation would only succeed if based on these principles. The terms “knowledge, morality and religion” had very specific meanings to those in the founding era. Be sure to extrapolate that meaning from your assigned textbook readings. The information can be found in chapter 5 of your textbook. Discuss whether or not those same beliefs can still be the basis for success in the now religiously diverse America. Be sure to fully explain your position. Short Essay 2 Drawing on internal principle numbers 1, 2, and 4 in Chapter 8 of your textbook, respond to the modern legal argument that people have the right to abortion, same-sex marriage, and other sexual freedoms. There are 3 principles in particular that you should first explain and then apply to your analysis as you respond to the call of the question.Your answer must include a biblical analysis, specifically referring to passages from the Bible that support your argument. The question is not asking for your personal opinion, but rather what a proper Biblical response is, drawing specifically, but not exclusively, on internal principle numbers 1, 2, and 4 in Chapter 8. Short Essay 3 According to United States Supreme Court precedent, although the U.S. Constitution does not expressly state that there is a fundamental right of privacy, such a right does exist, arising from the penumbras of various other rights expressly protected in the text of the Constitution. Based on finding such a privacy right, the Supreme Court has held that there is a right to use contraceptives, a right to abort an unborn child, a right to engage in various sexual acts, and a right to same-sex marriage. Explain whether the Supreme Court, in finding such a fundamental right of privacy, acted properly in terms of the separation of powers established by our founders in the U.S. Constitution. Be sure to inform your response by applying a complete separation of powers analysis.
