What does a person who does not respect the law risk?
In the exam (French)
Que risque une personne qui ne respecte pas la loi ?
- aA penalty, for example a fine or prisonUne sanction, par exemple une amende ou la prisonCorrect answer
- bNothing, if they did not know the law at the timeRien, s'il ne connaissait pas la loi au moment des faits
- cOnly a written warning sent by the town hallSeulement un avertissement écrit envoyé par la mairie
- dA punishment decided by members of their communityUne punition décidée par les membres de sa communauté
Why?
A person who does not respect the law can be punished: a fine, community service (travail d’intérêt général) or prison, depending on how serious the offence is. Only the State and the courts can punish, never the family or the community. Not knowing the law is no excuse: “no one is supposed to be unaware of the law” (“nul n’est censé ignorer la loi”).
