MAN-MADE LAWS THAT CHALLENGE NATURAL LAW

  • How do some laws and norms defy the fundamental order of the universe?
  • Why does this defiance not work? What historical evidence is there that man-made laws that try to go against natural law will inevitably fail?
  • Ex. The Holocaust, The Dred Scott Case

FOOD FOR THOUGHT (CONT.)

  • How do current laws reflect modern society's alignment (or detachment) from reality?
  • Are laws made to be convenient, or are they made to be fair?
  • How might the interpretation of natural law be manipulated to appear to agree with man-made laws?
