WORDS MATTER
THE LETTER OF THE LAW
The Spirit of the Law.
Often, especially in politics, two very different things. In fact, the letter of the law is often what’s thrown up to mask that the spirit of the law is being ignored and violated.
What is the spirit of the law? It’s that which the law was intended to accomplish.
If a group can claim to be within the letter of the law, they can hope you never find out what they have really done, which is likely against the spirit of the law. If outed, they can throw up their hands in innocence and argue with a straight face that their letter compliance is actually the correct path.
