The Act Requirement which includes the Act versus Status and Failure to Act (#26). A person’s status or condition can never be a reason for punishing him is the prime aim of this act. The only rule which need to be followed is in the behavior.
The behavioural aspect is considered as most important because it affects others dignity and self-respect. Moreover to be rational in terms of behaviour is also important. To add to it, in California being a drug addict is a criminal offense. Again failure to Act or to follow it is yet another concern.
It involves the coordination of mind and body. Unless and until mind accepts and realizes any act which need to be followed, it is hard to control it and accordingly actions will also change. The Third one is the Legality requirement. This again signifies that there should be some defined acts which will be considered as non-ethical or law breaking. Simply scolding or abusing cannot be regarded as a criminal act. Those acts must be defined and should describe a violation of constitutional principles (#26 &27).
