He further states that the laws of the Philippines is based on the country’s culture which reflects how Filipino’s are highly God-fearing and does not accept or does not look at same-sex marriage or relationship as something that is morally right.

Laws are made to express the will that aims at the common good. “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws; however, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws, says Martin Luther King's Jr. His words absolutely tell us what to do in face of these two types of laws.

This view of human nature, established in the first section of the text, however, seems incompatible with a Utopian society, later established in the second section of the text, where private property no longer exists.

Research shows that racial profiling diverts officers attention from using actual, objective signs of suspicious behavior to effectively asses situatiions.

All humans have rights against these heinous acts under the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted”.
