Individual

**Individual choosing between self-interest and virtue. The action of choosing between a choice that is moral and one that is beneficial to one self.** **Cicero talks abut how being an individual has certain duties so that one can be a good individual. One of these duties is for people t** **o help each other. He thought that "... men can be of the greatest service to men" because helping each other will help get through life easier (pg.3). He** **also thought that one can not be anybody without the help of other people. So for one to decide if to help or not to help others, one must also know the right and wrong and when to purchase a good deed.**
 * Cicero Book II**

The US constitution it states that "the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges...(pg. 10)." In the constitution the people in the government have duties that they have to complete. To pass anything in the government it is going to be a contradiction for the people in the branches because they are either going to chose something to for their self interest or for the good of the people. This will test their morals and if they are self-interested or if they are out for the people. So everybody is tested between their morals if they are in the government. **
