Question:
Which of the following is/are the process (es) whereby the developing civilization progressively moved towards social engineering through free legal aid?
Options:
to grant aid to vulnerable communities
to put restrictions upon the exercise of privileges accorded by law to those well-off
to strip those fortunate of their privileges and place the strong and weak on an equal footing before the law
All of the above
Correct Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
There were three processes whereby the developing civilization progressively moved towards social engineering through free legal aid. The first was to grant aid to vulnerable communities; the second was to put restrictions upon the exercise of privileges accorded by law to those well-off; and the third was to strip those fortunate of their privileges and place the strong and weak on an equal footing before the law. But these three steps did not ultimately bring the society towards realizing its goal. There is one kind of weakness that is not adequately protected by restraints or by taking away the privileges from the fortunate. As law is not self-executing, the power of the society which gives sanction to law must be brought to bear upon the law breaker before a wrong done is made right.
