    Kant’s Formalism Theory defines moral judgments as laws. These laws are to be concrete and not to waiver once set (Kant‚ 1948‚ n.p.).

Immanuel Kant added that these laws as well as your actions are to be concrete going forward for all similar circumstances. As I apply this theory to Warner Case #5‚ I see that the Prosecuting Attorney will have to follow his judgment on all cases with the same
