The wording here does not make sense to me. There must be a wording mistake in here. <br>[[User:H Padleckas|H Padleckas]] 05:02, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

== Example is Wrong ==

The example given is most assuredly wrong, at least as a matter of New York State law. New York collapses justification and necessity into a single concept of justification in NY Penal Law Art. 35. I will try to revise this. [[User:Cprovenzano|cpro]] 21:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Revision as of 21:13, 9 February 2006

There needs to be a disambiguation page for necessity. There is the philosophical/political use of this word as well.

I entirely agree. So much of philosophical inquiry focusses around the relationship between cause and effect. Needless to say, necessity plays a large role in this relationship. SJCstudent 03:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check wording of Element 3

Can someone please check the wording of Element 3 in this article which states:

3. the accused must be proportionality between the harm inflicted and the harm avoided

The wording here does not make sense to me. There must be a wording mistake in here.
