2. How can freedom be rebuilt, according to Howard?

3. Do you agree or disagree with Howard that the legal system is broken? Why or why not?

Answer 1

1. Mr. Howard's TED talk is about the constitution, he mentions three propositions and these are:First, the law is basing its judgment on its effect on the society rather than the individual situation. Second, the condition to attain freedom is to trust in the law. Lastly, the law must not interfere in the conflict but should set boundaries to protect the freedom.

2. According to Mr. Howard, there are two ways to rebuild freedom. One is to clarify the law and the other is to bring back the judges' authorities and to apply the law from the officials.

3. Yes, I agree that the legal system is broken because, from my point of view, only the rich are capable of defending themselves.
