The English common law put the burden on defendants to prove they "retreated to the wall" before acting in self-defense. The American majority "stand-your-ground rule" was based on the idea that a "man" shouldn't have to flee from attack because he'd done nothing wrong to provoke or deserve the attack and the need to protect the family and country, and could stand his ground and kill to "defend himself without retreating from any place he had a right to be." Which do you agree with? What are the arguments in favor of each law?
