If you don't understand some of the words, look them up in a dictionary.

Lady Justice is the Roman Goddess of Justice and she is often blindfolded.She holds a pair of scales on 1 hand and a sword on the other. She symbolizes freedom and fairness for what I think.

Thank You Rezu.

Ms. Sue I'm really not going to waste time looking up the words. I'm only doing this for extra credit for ss in order to get my grade highger. My average is a 84. My ss teacher didn't put in my report card yet. Tomrrow is the last day of the 3rd quarter. I want my average in the 90's.

Independent learning is NEVER a waste of time! I hope you learn that long before you start applying to college.

Listen! I was really tired that night! I'm only in the 7th grade. BTW - I'd done my research and I been learning that just that that time wasn't a good time for me to do.

Lady Justice is a famous symbol often seen in courts and legal settings. She represents the idea of fairness and justice in society. Lady Justice is usually depicted as a woman holding a set of weighing scales in one hand, a sword in the other hand, and wearing a blindfold.

The scales represent balance and equality, showing that justice should treat everyone equally, regardless of their background or status. The blindfold symbolizes impartiality, indicating that justice should be blind and not biased by external factors.

The sword represents authority and enforcement of the law. It means that justice has the power to punish or protect, ensuring that laws are upheld and people are treated fairly.

Lady Justice's symbol is used to remind people of the principles of fairness and equality in the legal system. Her image represents the idea that everyone should have a fair chance and be treated equally under the law.
