question 2
letter of the law is acting according to the aim, intent, or purpose of a law when it was written.
true
false

Explanation:

Define letter of the law versus spirit of the law

The "letter of the law" refers to the literal, exact wording of a law as written. In contrast, acting according to the aim, intent, or purpose of a law when it was written is defined as following the "spirit of the law."

Evaluate the statement

The statement asserts: "Letter of the law is acting according to the aim, intent, or purpose of a law when it was written." Since this describes the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law, the statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
