Being moral is thus a matter of obeying God. Deontological

the drill bit. When you are riding a multi-speed bicycle up a steep hill‚ what do you do? Most likely you shift gears in order to get more power with the same amount of effort. Sometimes when a standard shift or four-wheel drive vehicle is being driven up a steep incline‚ the driver will downshift or engage the four-wheel drive in order to gain more torque. Can you think of other examples where force or torque is changed to make a task easier? This need to change speed and torque is a problem

Our government was founded on the idea that it is “of the people‚ by the people‚ and for the people‚” if ‘the people’ do not involve themselves to a certain extent they are not fulfilling their duty. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in 1944: “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by
