In modern times, there is significant discussion about justice and rights. We often hear that something does or does not achieve justice or that someone has a right to something. Please address the following issues in your paper.
1.    Define justice and rights from a biblical perspective. This should set a standard by which claims to justice and rights can be analyzed.
2.    Select a specific, contemporary legal issue in the United States where individuals assert a right to something or state that something is inconsistent with standards of justice and apply a biblical understanding of justice and rights to conclude whether the specific asserted right or claim of injustice you selected is indeed a denial of a right or fails to achieve justice. Be sure to fully explain each part of your answer.
Be sure to use materials from the reading, the Bible, and outside sources.
Bluebook format that focus on the topics set forth in the prompts. (You may not include citations in the total word count.) Include at least 10 references from a minimum of 5 separate sources in each paper
