Answer to Discussion Question J J J J J J
Should the common law maxim “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” apply to an
J J J J
immigrant who speaks little English and was not educated in the United States?
JJ JJ
How about for a tourist who does not speak English? Everyone knows
JJ J J J J J J
J criminal acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that differ
J JJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J across countries and so may be misunderstood by foreigners?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
Answer: It is generally true that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Citizens are
deemed to have constructive knowledge of the law. Yet, as well known as

1. Facts from an English judge’s decision in 1884: “The crew of an English yacht
J
were cast away in
JJ
a storm on the high seas . . . and were compelled to put into an open
boat...................................................................................................................................................They had no
JJ J J
supply
of water and no supply of food. . . . That on the eighteenth day . . . they
.........................................................................................................................................................suggested that one
should be sacrificed to save the rest. . . . That next day . . . they . . .
went to the boy ................................................................................................................................... put a knife
JJ J J J J J
into his throat and killed him . . . the three men fed upon the body of
the boy for four days; [then]
JJ
the boat was picked up by a passing vessel, and [they] were rescued. . . .
and committed for trial. . . .
JJ
if the
J J men had J notJ fed upon J the J body of the J boy J they J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J would J probably not have
J J survived to be sovbpickedJJ up and J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J rescued, but would
J have died of famine.
J J J The boy, being
J in a J J J J J J JJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J much weaker
J J J
condition, was likely to have died before themThe real question in this case [is] J
whether killing
JJ J
under the conditions set forth be or be not murder.” Do you consider the J J
acts to be immoral?
