Laws Of Appalachia: 1820s
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. The presence of law intends to create a more civilized society, one in which citizens can expect social enlightenment to guide their every action. While this may represent the concept of law, it only does so in theory due to the extraordinarily interpretive nature of judicial procedure, a reality that evaporates any semblance of equity to the notion of law. Applying this sentiment to Appalachian laws at the turn of the nineteenth century finds the separation of social classes to be one of the most incriminating elements of fair proceedings; inasmuch as the Celts and the English stood at odds over myriad societal issues, one of the most apparent was that of applying the law in whatever form necessary. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Paul, on the other hand, must also answer for his actions against Lonnie under the Act, whereby the wrath he took out upon his daughter's assailant was no more lawful than the sexual infringement the young men cast upon Anita.
