The reformers have no or little faith in the people; hence rely on these ideas used in the ancient times. The author views those who draft the state constitutions and municipal regulations as the kind of authority who loves the people without seeking to know them. “A man of this generation easily discerns the crudeness of that ...

Psychological explanations tend to consider the factors that lead different people to their preferred answers and why different people are sensitive different contexts of the question. They answer why people answer the questions the way they do. According to John Mikhail, the answers given in the Trolley Problem were not dependent on factors such as age, gender, educational background or cultural background.

Moral explanations focus on the rightness or wrongness of the issue at hand. ...

1.0 Introduction For an act to be deemed as criminal attempt, the perpetrator must express the intent to commit an act whose result would constitute a crime and take considerable steps towards attaining his goal. For as far back as the 14th century, historians have scattered evidence that there was punishment for attempted felony if there was serious harm incurred in the course of the perpetration of crime.
