Subject of the essays: this year was "Law and the Free Citizen." - r - . . (Editor's Dotal Following It the assay writttn by " Mitt: DsAnna Taylor,, who won f irai place in the Vet ' nana of Foreign Wars aux iliary sponsored witting" vootatt) ,jv.; ,i ; Br SeANNE TAYLOR - From the primeval swamps rae man, the bringer of law. lefore human beings moved f rth on the earth natural law I d rule over the waters. But r in, even In hit primitive' r observed the infinite or - ind In nature and adapt- tuit order to hit own use. v, unwritten or written, 1 or legal, hat existed i rrn, a gregarious crea- i, t 'it the. society' of il himself. . : a wotda law and free, at parts of speech, form a. pair of opposite. Only In defini tion can the true meaning of these words be 'found. Since humans are not capable of teaching perfection, they must t a protected -from -their frail- tins. This It law; a' code pro 1 "rt each from the lmper i -ons'of trie other. On the r t hand the word free can y : imply . complete . release t orn all restrictions, hlndran i and limits that are placed t-a society,' How then can law s-'d the free citizen exitt tc l hert , . ; , . The answer to thia question lies in the wellspring of the law's authority. The source of the law is the people. How- s aver, law benefits mankind only when It evolves from the authority of all who will be governed. This does not hold true in totalitarian govern ments where laws are made by the few for the restriction of the many. Totalitarian practices are not law; they are injustices to the inherent free- : dom of man. The majority then, in a free society, have recognized- the need for Jus tice In order to protect their individual liberty from the misdeeds of the group as a whole. In such a society where the individual does not lose his freedom but maintains it under the law, It Is possible for the free citizen and law to co-exist. The law Is not a set of restrictions but a set of rights, written or .recognized, that may not be violated. - No- one man can be law unto himself in today's' world.' Each has' obligations to his group so that the group might function for Hie individual. In the United States these obll gatlons include voting, seek ing an education as a strong DacKground, and , practicing toleration In a land that is known: as the "melting pot" of the nations. The most im portant obligation of any United States citizen is the promotion of interest in the Self-governing processes. Once the citizenry has become aDa- thetic, soundly convinced that man made law is Infallible, the day will come when the law no longer guarantees free dom but guarantees slavery. The usefulness of the law stands according to the inter est of the people. : Over the centuries as man stretched, his conquests across tne earth, he brought with him his law. From the crude code of Hammurabi through the polished law of the Roman Empire to the legal system existing today In the United states, law had developed as did its maker, man. The law, as it stands, is still adjusting 10 me complexities of the aee. However, without the basic tenets of the law lndestructa. ble behind the free citizen who goes forth to confront totalitarian Ideals, the world ana us population would slow- ly; sink Into oblivion, no bet ter tnan tno swampy depths from which It rose.
