Why are we obligated to honor the Roman law in our use of this word?
- gozur88 10y agoBecause Roman law had jurisdiction?
- inimino 10y agoThat's not the point. By calling something "murder" even though it may have been legal, we are passing moral judgment on the act as well as the law and society that tolerated it. To act as though someone using this term is simply unaware that it was legal, and needs a lesson on Roman law, is simply to be obtuse.
