Justice is administered in trials.
The term judgment , which comes from the Latin iudicium , has various uses. It is, for example, the faculty of the soul that allows us to distinguish between good and evil or between what is true and what is false. The judgment is, on the other hand, an opinion , a ruling or an opinion .
The judgment is made up of a subject (the concept of the object of the judgment), a predicate (the concept that applies to the subject) and the copula (which establishes whether what is thought is typical of the object of the judgment or not).
"The human being is arrogant" is an example of a judgment, where "human being" is the subject, "superb" is the predicate and "is" is the copula. "In my opinion, you are acting in the wrong way," on the other hand, shows how the term can be used in a sentence.
Judgment is, furthermore, the state of sound reason that opposes madness or delirium: «It seems that your father has lost his mind; "There is no way we can meet their demands," "The president is a man of judgment, who does not make decisions lightly."
The administration of justice
The trial is also linked to justice since it is a legal controversy between parties that submit to a court. The trial assumes that there is a support for rights or interests that conflict with what is defended by the opposing party: "I am going to sue all the journalists who slandered me," "My brother started a lawsuit against the company that fired him without cause." and did not pay him the corresponding compensation" , "The trial ended with the conviction of all the accused" .
Human beings imposed their own rules above those of the rest of living beings, hurting without being hurt, demanding without accepting demands. But our most outstanding, and painful, characteristic is not the damage we cause to other species, but to ourselves. Below are some examples of trials in which defendants were sentenced despite their innocence .
Judges must be in charge of resolving disputes and guaranteeing rights.
unfair trials
Socrates : the Athens of his time was still suffering the consequences of the confrontation with the Spartans, which led the people to doubt the benefits of democracy . But Socrates insisted that there was no better system, and he did not hesitate to oppose his government to express his ideas. This led to him being sentenced to death by poisoning.
Jesus Christ : his self-proclamation as the son of God was just one step on the path that would lead him to become one of the greatest controversies in the history of religion. His numerous miracles, his declarations and his teachings based on metaphors and acts of faith are not far from a modern-day illusion show, and no magician is hanged from a cross and brutally murdered.
the Salem witches : the alleged witches were women accused by citizens of carrying out various satanic practices, but the story goes that the judges never required them to undergo organized investigation processes, but instead relied on rumors to send them to a horrible death . This took place at the end of the 17th century in the former province of Massachusetts Bay, in the United States.
Jan Hus : was a scholar of religion and philosophy born in the Czech Republic in the second half of the 14th century, who worked as a professor at the Charles University in Prague. After being ordained as a priest, he took advantage of his position to criticize the various corrupt acts of the Church, such as excessive enrichment and persecution of infidels. His objective was for it to become an institution absolutely detached from materialism, which would lead by example. Hus incited his followers to ignore the words of his colleagues, ensuring that they were not trustworthy people; He even said that the pope was the Antichrist himself. He defended his convictions to the end, and for this he was sentenced to die at the stake.
