4. What is Mala Inse? Can you give at least 3 real cases related to Mala Inse. include your cite
or reference after the answer
A crime that is considered bad in and of itself is referred to as mala in se (plural: malum in se).
The Latin term literally translates as "wrong in itself." Crimes mala prohibita, which means
"wrong because they are prohibited" in Latin, are in opposition to this category of crime.
The distinguishing characteristic of crimes mala in se is not their severity, but that the citizenry
feels they are morally wrong in and of themselves, and require no outside reasons to prove or
justify their wrongness. For the most part, these are crimes that directly and visibly harm other
people and their property, since it's traditionally these kinds of crimes that inspire the most
fervent moral outrage.
Historical Punishment for Mala In Se
Essentially all of the crimes identified in the old British common law system — the system
which forms the foundation of criminal law in the United States — are identified as crimes mala
in se. The punishment for these offenses was quite uniform: death. Of course, the opinions and
practices of our society have changed over the centuries, and today's petty thieves no longer need
fear the executioner's noose.
Are They Treated Differently Today?
While crimes mala in se remain, in general, the more heinous species of crime compared to
crimes mala prohibita, they do not necessarily incur the heavier punishments (for example, a
third drunk-driving conviction will warrant a much heavier punishment than a first-time
conviction of petty larceny).
It is worth mentioning that this classification, "bad in itself," does not have very much official
influence in modern criminal procedure. Technically, it matters very little in today's courts
whether a crime is considered wrong in itself or whether it is wrong by statutory legislation.
Instead, weight is placed on the defendant's history, the intention behind the defendant's actions,
whether the crime was misdemeanor or felony and to what degree, and so on. "Mala in se" and
"mala prohibita" are, it might be said, artifacts from the middle ages of Europe, which are
preserved largely for their historical value.
The Importance of Moral Values in Law
Nevertheless, the moral feelings of the citizenry should not be overlooked while trying to
understand the way that crime is classified and punished in the United States. While it would
seem contrary for a society that prides itself as "a nation of laws" to agree that any crime is
wrong in itself, rather than because it is against the law, there are not many people who would
cite the law while explaining why rape is wrong.

5. What is Mala Probita? Can you give at least 3 real cases related to Mala Prohibita. include
your cite or reference after the answer.
In the legal system, actions that are not inherently unlawful by their very nature, such as murder,
are referred to as being "wrong because it is banned" using the Latin phrase mala prohibita,
which means "wrong because it is prohibited." Mala prohibita acts include things like not paying
taxes and utilizing the incorrect side of the freeway. Consider the following definition of mala
prohibita to examine this idea..
