Assignment:What
Is Law?Consider
Burma (named Myanmar by its military rulers). What political rights do you have
that the average Burmese citizen does not? Post your response.

Overview: Law has different meanings as
well as different functions. Philosophers have considered issues of justice and
law for centuries, and several different approaches, or schools of legal
thought, have emerged. In this chapter, we will look at those different
meanings and approaches and will consider how social and political dynamics
interact with the ideas that animate the various schools of legal thought. We
will also look at typical sources of “positive law” in the United States and
how some of those sources have priority over others, and we will set out some
basic differences between the US legal system and other legal systems.QAssignment:Posttrial
Motions -What
if there was not a doctrine of res judicata? What would the legal system be
like? Post your response.

Background: In the United States, law and
government are interdependent. The Constitution establishes the basic framework
of government and imposes certain limitations on the powers of government. In
turn, the various branches of government are intimately involved in making,
enforcing, and interpreting the law. Today, much of the law comes from Congress
and the state legislatures. But it is in the courts that legislation is
interpreted and prior case law is interpreted and applied.
