In Lawrence v. Texas, Lawrence tries to get Texas to stop criminalizing same-sex sexual contact. Which of the following statements best explains why one side mentioned that this concept does not apply to this case?
a. Lawrence promotes self-government, because Lawrence has a right to make his own decisions about with whom he will have sexual contact.
b. This concept does not apply, because this case does not have anything to do with the right of people to have input into the laws under which they live.
c. Texas promotes self-government, because this would permit the people of Texas to be ruled by the law made by their representatives in their legislature.
d. Both sides promote self-government, because one side promotes the right of the people as a whole to govern themselves and the other side promotes the right of an individual to govern him or herself.
