Samuel:

Liam: Law1: It is illegal to be under 18 and smoke ciggarettes Law2: It is illegal to be under 18 and drink alcohol in a public area Law3: It is illegal to supply ciggarettes to under 18's for consumption

We have laws to protect us from certain methods of harm, and they are there for our own benefit They do this since they are very easy to abide by and they are there ot protect us from the dangers of the world it would be chaotic and it would surely plunge our world into the depths of madness Kishin style

Liam: Dot point 1: a covenant is a sacred promise by god which cannot be broken and is only established while having direct contact with God Dot Point 2: To help them live good lives, and to avoid future persecution from any other people like the Egyptians Dot Point 3: Because they were abiding by the words of God, direct instructions given by God and entrusted to Moses and the Jewish people, and by fulfilling their part of the deal (living according to the 10 Commandments) and God will reward them with protection and everlasting life in Heaven
