Unit 2 Discussion - Legal & Ethical

Legal & Ethical Discus Board 2

Part 1 (post this response in the main U2 DB thread "Unit 2 Discussion Board")
One common point of debate in law is whether laws should be changed based upon the times or circumstances. It has been a consideration since the Founding Fathers created the Constitution. For this debate discussion, your task is to consider this issue, as it relates specifically to two particular laws. The topic up for debate: should the Dodd-Frank Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act be flexible and change based upon the times or circumstances.

Read this article and then this information from the SEC on these Acts, and conduct a brief analysis of each, to demonstrate your understanding of both.
