Life, Liberty, and property

Life, Liberty, and property are natural rights that were first presented by John Locke. They are the very rights that both men and women (today) gain by giving up governmental rights in order to maintain a more stable society.

A question to think about....

Is a law too vague? Is it applied fairly to all? Does a law presume guilt? A vagrancy law might be declared too vague if the definition of a vagrant is not detailed enough. A law that makes wife beating illegal but permits husband beating might be declared to be an unfair application. A law must be clear, fair, and have a presumption of innocence to comply with procedural due process.
