I do not believe that the United States legal system is effective as it should be. The system is much more sensible than a lot of other countries, but it still needs some work in my opinion. In order to defend yourself in a court of law you have to know all of the ins and outs and loopholes there are or get a good lawyer. If you are arrested for a crime you didn’t commit in this country and you don’t have good representation you will most likely be found guilty.
“Some of our laws came from sources that were not originally concerned with human freedom.” (Essentials of Business Law, Liuzzo, pg. 8). In order to make a majority of people somewhat happy with the legal system there must be compromise. For example in the case of Roe vs. Wade there was a compromise, that case made some people upset, but others were pleased with the decision. I think that the quote is saying that people can’t have complete freedom, and there has to be compromise, because complete freedom would be anarchy.
I also think there should some more amendments to the constitution, it needs to be updated because things are different than they were back in 1776 and the U.S. constitution has only been amended 27 times. Overall I am grateful for the system we have but, I think it needs a little reforming and changes.
