The case of Griswold v. Connecticut is an interesting legal proceeding that has opposing views that incorporate fundamental ideas of legal naturalism. This case involved a Planned Parenthood physician who was charged for violating Connecticut law by providing a married couple a contraceptive device which by state law is illegal. During this appeal several judges share their thoughts on how this guilty verdict may or may not be in violation of the U.S. constitution. Both Justice Douglas and Goldberg’s, both in favor of reversal, arguments are consistent with Dworkin’s theories of legal naturalism. Understanding their individual decisions on the case will clearly show these consistencies.

Even Cesare Beccaria argues the idea that laws preserve society, and rightfully so, because we need laws to help society improve, flourish, and set what is right and
Rene Descartes believed in a similar concept of God creating natural laws. Not only did God place the laws, but he wanted the part of humans, laws, etc. to play out in the universe based on them. This explains their belief in the creation of the universe in which it could only be made by someone with all knowledge. The role that humans would play could only be contributed based on the natural
In fact, Thomas Jefferson mentioned, “the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle” in the Declaration of Independence. He made this claim to argue that freedom of thought was undeniable and that the nature’s God gave people the freedom to choose their religious belief. Although this may be accepted by people today, in early America people strongly believed in a certain Christian denomination. In fact, many people who support this view that God allows us to believe in whatever we want are known as Deists.

Some characteristics of Naturalism include: Survival of the fittest, violence (force vs. force), animal imagery, determinism, and taboo topics.

1. Term: Naturalism is described as events that happen are determined by the natural forces. One leading to another, causing the next force to happen. There is no free will where a person cannot indicate what happens; we just react to the forces of the events.
In making the argument for the existence of the Law of Human Nature, C.S. Lewis first establishes the acknowledgement of a few different universal laws that man in subjected to. There is the law of gravity, in which Lewis insinuates that in the eyes of gravity, the body of man and a mere stone are one and the same. Then there are biological laws that correspond with those than an animal has. However, the one law that is specific to man and that man is free to disobey or get “mistaken”, is the “Law of Nature or decent behavior” (Lewis). C.S. Lewis uses inductive reasoning to form this kind of logic by first making the observation that even though throughout time man has seemed to have had different agreements of what they believe to be moral,
During the previous classes, we have covered the ten boundaries laws in the book called "Boundaries". As many other people, there is sometimes where I break a boundary and consequently pay the penalty of doing it. One of the laws I have broken is the law of sowing and reaping.

Natural law theory states that there are laws that are immanent in nature and the man made laws should correspond as closely as possible. Man can’t produce natural laws but he can find and discover through his reasoning. If a law is contrary to a natural law then it is not a law. Laws should be related to morality. It is a concept of a body of moral principal that is same for all the man
Law is present in our daily life and in everything we do. We cannot think a second without law. Whatever we can see around us everything is connected with the law. Sometimes we can see it and sometimes we cannot see but feel it. Law is not just a thing to obey for yourself but making a peaceful society.
