1) I believe that the type of law I would like to live under is the current Canadian system. I believe that I would like this rather then the ancient system because we get to choose our leader as Canadians. We have the right to vote if we have our citizenship and over the age of 18. I do not like the fact of the ancient system because it was a hierarchy of who got to rule and who didn't. The people of the town or area did not get to choose their leader and whatever society you were born to, you did not move up. Examples would be if you were born a nobleman you did not get to work up to being a king. Or if youw were born a serf, you stayed a serf. In today's society coming from a poorer family does not define who you are, you just work harder and go to school to become what you want. 2) I believe that Canadian law places value on procedural right, even if people perceive it as ways for people to escape the concept of justice, because it gives some peopel a second chance on getting their life together. We don't always know the background on why they did the crime and if it was a one time thing. Community service and what not still gives people punishment enought that many learn from their mistakes. I believe that the procedural rights is quite fair because they usually don't offer it to someone who has killed someone, or have done major crimes. I believe that maybe only children (0-18) should be offered the chance because if you are 18 or over you have your life pretty figured out and know the consequences of what is going to happen and what is going on at that time.
