Something that I have realized after studying and practicing law over the years is that the U.S. is an actively working society. Everything from the Constitution to state laws and even local city standards stem from the promise community members make to not violate each other’s domains. U.S. laws are a safety guard to help guarantee that community members can keep this minimum promise. This means that if you violate laws in the U.S., you are not keeping this promise and you must be sanctioned for your actions. That is why the American jury system, which leaves the judging of the law to the citizens, is a right and duty that is as sacred as the right to vote. Also, this can be why U.S. law enforcement can be strict and harsh.. However, let’s look at it from a different viewpoint. Keeping the minimum promise can also be interpreted to mean honoring each other’s freedoms to the fullest extent. This means that in the U.S., following basic law allows us to have the freedom to not have to dispute everything we do.. The link between guaranteeing freedom and an active society is simple:. 1. Do not interfere with others;. 2. But, if someone violates my domain, I have the right to prove the violation; and,. 3. I can demand rational compensation for the proven violation.. This is a simple logic. This logic may be what allows so many different kinds of people to live without trouble here in the U.S.. For the past 20 years, I have seen many immigrants endure hardships when they were wronged all because of the English-speaking barrier or because of their vague fear of the law. People whose rights have been violated unjustly need to actively fight for their cause and receive due compensation if needed.. I believe that everyone livnig in the U.S. deserves protection through the laws that this country is built on. I sincerely wish I can be a help to lead the charge.
