Answer:

c. The Long Arm Statute.

Explanation:

The legal jurisdiction "Long Arm Statute" refers to the liberty of a state to have jurisdiction against an out-of-state defendant in a legal case. In other words, this statute means that a state has the right to persecute an out-of-state offender who commits the offense in the visiting state. Simply put, the state has a long arm to reach other states and bring the offenders to court.

In the given scenario, Megan is from New York but commits the offense of running a red light and hitting Sarah while in Texas. So, when Sarah files the lawsuit against Megan, the state of Texas can exercise the "Long Arm Statute" against Megan and persecute her despite being a New York citizen and not a Texas resident.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.

Describe the two ways Lewis argues that the moral law is not simply a social convention. Some things we learn in school are good
ddd [48]

Answer:

C.S. Lewis states that moral law is not a simply convention . He says "there are two reasons for saying it belongs to the same class as mathematics. The first is, as I said in the first chapter, that though there are differences between the moral ideas of one time or country and those of another, the differences are not really very great — not nearly so great as most people imagine — [...].The other reason is this. When you think about these differences between the morality of one people and another, do you think that the morality of one people is ever better or worse than that of another? Have any of the changes been improvements? If not, then of course there could never be any moral progress. Progress means not just changing, but changing for the better. If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality."

Then the Law of Human Nature is compared as a standard or universal truth: "he moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard, saying that one of them conforms to that standard more nearly than the other. But the standard that measures two things is something different from either. You are, in fact, comparing them both with some Real Morality, admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."
