My parents talked a lot about the rule of the law and the spirit of the law. I don’t think I really understood what they were talking about until I was much older. It was interesting because my mother and father were differing on the way they interpreted these terms. I think it would be interesting to see where.

I got eight of eight correct from this quiz without thinking what is this! hehehehhe
You got: You live by the spirit of the law. There is a lot of gray.
I apparently live by the letter of the law. lol
I enjoyed doing it.c”,)
You got: You don’t really even know the law exists.
Ok, if I didn’t come one for a while, I’m probably in jail :p
I qualified for the letter of the law.
Live by the letter of the law, but I can think of a few options that I’d take that weren’t offered. I also stop to allow pedestrians to cross the road even if they are jaywalking.
The letter of the law and the spirit of the law is always a tough one. You danced that line very well.
This is great fun really. I enjoyed fully
You got: You don’t really even know the law exists.
