    Please review the guidelines on asking for help with homework that can be found here:

    There are laws against perjury, slander and libel that require people to tell the truth.

    Hello C:

    There's only ONE argument for the con side... The government can't DO the things it wants to do if they can be spied upon by the governed.

    Well yes there are laws compelling you to tell the truth
    In court, in business dealings, any contractual deals, real estate. Is there a specific law that says if you lie about ANYTHING it is illegal? No.
