question 5
a person saying \i didnt make the law; im just following it\ is using the letter of the law.
true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the statement and definitions

The statement is: "A person saying 'I didn't make the law; I'm just following it' is using the letter of the law."
The "letter of the law" refers to the literal, strict interpretation of the words written in a law or rule, without considering the underlying intent, purpose, or moral context (which would be the "spirit of the law").

Evaluate the speaker's perspective

A person who says "I didn't make the law; I'm just following it" is abdicating personal interpretation or moral judgment in favor of strict, literal compliance with the established rules. This aligns directly with adhering strictly to the literal text ("letter") of the law. Therefore, the statement is true.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
