RE: Module 2 Essay

This essay goes over Bastiat's law and how it has to do with entrepreneurship. The essay talks about how the law is what brings morals to people and keep people in check. The laws are what make the world somewhat safe and are important to the people. Some people may not agree with the laws but still follow them because they were put in place to protect the people. The rules are set in place so that people can protect each other. Many people tend to blame the government when things go wrong because they are in charge of everything. The law keeps people organized and doesn't make the system all over the place.

As long as everyone's safety was guaranteed, work was free, and the results of work were safe from all unfair attacks, no one would face any problems in the State.
When we're doing well, we shouldn't have to thank the government, but when things go wrong, we shouldn't think of putting the blame on the government any more than our peasants think of blaming hail or frost on the government. We should only know it through the great gift of Safety.

I completely agree with the above quote. Laws help everyone be safe and not have a world on fire. Without the law the world would be a complete mess. The law keeps us safe from unwanted attacks and helps the world stay sane. I will agree that when things get bad people immediately result into blaming the government. I think it's just easier for people to do this because they are the ones who put the laws into place. We should feel fortunate that even though we have laws we still have so much freedom.

As soon as he shows up, we lose all of our business, because all of our customers go to him, and a branch of our own industry, which has a lot of effects, stops growing all at once. This enemy, who is actually the sun, fights us fiercely, and we think that sneaky Albion is behind it, since he is careful around that haughty island but not with us.

I disagree with this I don't think we would lose all our business towards our competitors. If we stay confident in our exports and produce well we will be okay. Many people think just because a competitor has a lower price than us that we will lose against them which is not true at all.
Overall this essay hit the right amount of key points explaining the law.
