Chapter 778 Principles of the Law
"The law represents the overall will of the ruling class, and it is also the guarantee for the operation and effectiveness of social rules. Any country and any political system has its own unique laws."

"Taking our Dogrand Kingdom as an example, the concrete embodiment of the law is the "Dogrand Code", which is a programmatic document compiled by the "Ancient King" Dorgrand I, which established the fundamental system of the kingdom , stipulating the basic norms of citizen behavior, and all decrees derived from other fields are based on the "Dogrand Code", so it can also be called the fundamental law of the kingdom. "

An order from Perseus at the New Year's banquet directly opened the prelude to the crown prince's affairs.Of course, life goes on for the three candidates beyond the political strife.

In addition to dealing with all the troubles caused by the crown prince's affairs, the underage Solandelle still has to continue her studies at the Laurel Academy.

At this moment, the Minister of Law and Grand Scholar, Yuanwen Doguland, is teaching the students about law-related knowledge. Because this is a big class, the noble and humble students in the college are all sitting in the audience .

Yuan Wen didn't have a book in his hand, so he was obviously familiar with the content of the lecture, and said slowly: "The law is the guarantee for the operation of the kingdom. Some of you here are nobles, and some are from poor families. No matter what your background is, remember not to violate it." law, or you will be punished."

After taking notes, Solandelle raised her hand.

Yuan Wen: "Student Solandelle, what's the problem?"

Solandelle stood up and asked earnestly: "Teacher, you just said that no one should break the law, then I have a question - if some laws are irrational in themselves, it is absolutely true. 'Evil law', do we still have an obligation to obey it?"

As soon as this question was asked, it immediately aroused the whispers of the students, and Yuan Wen also looked at Solandelle with a kind of interest: "This student asked a very interesting question. Think for yourself, and then speak your mind."

Amidst the discussion, a noble student stood up first: "I think, no matter whether it is a bad law or a good law, as long as it is a clearly written law, citizens have the obligation to obey it unconditionally."

A poor student hesitated for a moment, stood up and retorted: "I don't quite agree with this classmate's point of view, the law should protect the rights and interests of citizens, if the law itself destroys this kind of rights and interests, it is an 'evil law', then it It violates the most basic principles of the law and should not be obeyed."

The noble student snorted, and said in a reprimanding tone: "If everyone thinks like you, and says they won't abide by it, what's the majesty of the code? What's the execution power of the ruling class? Today you say this is an evil law, tomorrow If I say that is an evil law, wouldn’t the whole kingdom be in chaos?!”

Compared with the aristocratic students from well-to-do families, these poor children who are subsidized to go to school have a natural inferiority complex in their bones, and they will be shorter in imposing manner on any occasion.

Taking advantage of the opponent's shrinking, the noble student continued to output his ideas: "And the question about Her Royal Highness"

Yuan Wen suddenly put on a serious face, and knocked on the table with a ruler: "This is a classroom! There are only classmates, there is no 'His Royal Highness'!"

The noble student's rhythm was disrupted, and he calmed down and organized his thoughts before continuing: "Student Solandelle's question is meaningless to me."

"The law code has been compiled and compiled by generations, and it can be said to be very perfect. It can be called a perfect law. How can there be any distinction between evil laws and good laws?"

The poor student finally couldn't help it anymore, and muttered: "I don't agree with this point of view. There is no perfect law in the world, and even the best legal system will have evil laws, and there will be exploitation if there are evil laws. likely to be avoided."

The noble student sneered and said, "Exploitation? I'm also a citizen of Dogolande. How come I don't feel exploited?"

Yuan Wen raised his hand, stopped the students' discussion, and took over the topic: "There is no right or wrong in the issues you are discussing, it's just that everyone looks at the issues from different angles."

"Some people advocate that the evil law is also the law, because only in this way can the majesty of the law be guaranteed and social order maintained."

"There are also people who advocate that evil laws are illegal, and feel that evil laws are irrational, and everyone should only obey good laws."

"My point of view is that the boundary between evil law and good law is difficult to define, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to distinguish."

"Our history has given the answer many times. Many of the 'evil laws' that were not seen at the time and people said, after a long period of practice, have shown their advanced status in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years later. sex."

"Of course, there are also counterexamples. Many legal items showed advantages at the beginning of their design, but looking back after many years, they found that there were endless harms."

"The law is not static, but will continue to be updated and improved with the advancement of the times. If you want to perfect the law, you can only practice it. If you want to practice it, you must ensure the majesty of the law. If everyone can question the law , If you say you don’t abide by it, then you don’t abide by it, then you won’t even be able to go through the path of practice.”

"The same is true for the debate between bad law and good law. The key is not 'evil' or 'good', but 'law'. Only practice under this premise is the standard for testing truth."

Yuan Wen's explanation was very thorough, and to a certain extent, he showed his tendency. After hearing this, the noble student glanced triumphantly at the poor student, who could only lower his head and remain silent.

"What about those who died because of this?" Solandelle suddenly spoke out, her eyes were deep, and she asked quietly, "If the evil law should be obeyed unconditionally, it can only be denied through a long period of time. Those who died because of the evil law, who will give them justice?"

Yuan Wen was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally heaved a long sigh and said meaningfully: "Student Solandelle, you need to understand that we are all mortals, not gods. We can't even predict what will happen tomorrow, let alone Nobody can see what's going on years from now."

"Where there are people, there must be mistakes, and mistakes are always accompanied by sacrifices. It may be cruel to say that, the development of history is a history of blood and tears, and sacrifices are inevitable."

"The difference is that a saint sacrifices himself, and a mortal sacrifices others."

The students couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this, and there was no sound in class.

"Boom—" At this moment, the school bell rang, and the lingering sound lingered in the classroom.

Yuan Wen looked at the restless students, and said slowly: "The issues we discussed today are very meaningful, and the class assignment assigned to you is to write an essay based on this."

"Everyone can speak freely, and talk about what is unreasonable in the current legal system in their own minds, how to improve it, and what kind of results will be achieved in the end. Let me see before the next law class, Okay, get out of class is over."
