2. There is something irrational about our system of laws. The Criminal Law punishes a person more severely for having successfully committed a crime than it does- to a person who fails in his attempt, even though the same evil intention is present in both the cases. On the other hand in Civil Law, a person who attempts to defraud his victim, but fails in his effort, is not required to pay damages at all. Which of the following, if true, would weaken the authors argument? (a) From moral point of view, a person is as much culpable for his evil thoughts as for his evil deeds. (b) Criminals are more dangerous to the society than the people who commit civil wrongs. (c) Criminal law seeks to punish criminals, while Civil law aims at only compensating the victims.
