I am a judge. You get divorced. I require that you pay child support. You have done nothing wrong, but I have imposed an obligation upon you, as a legal matter, falling out of the moral obligation towards your children. Is that wrong?....I am a legislature. I enact a law requiring that you go for emissions testing once every two years, to ensure that your vehicle is not unduly polluting. There was no prior bad act. In fact, it is not demonstrable that there is anything wrong with your car. The law merely imposes an obligation to cooperate in the effort to monitor emissions. Is that wrong?...I am a teacher. I give you an assignment in class. If you do not do it, you will have to suffer a lower grade. I have imposed a standard of behavior, not because of a prior bad act, but in the discharge of my teaching duty, and attached potentially serious consequences to the failure to perform. Is this wrong?....
