    I took the first survey and scored slightly to the left but more moderate than anything. I agree with this survey. Then I took the second survey and scored slightly to the right still being close to being moderate. This is the complete opposite of the first survey and would agree more with my results from the first survey I took. In class I scored as a moderate person which seems more like me! Laws are laws, rights are rights, and all are responsible for their actions with the same opportunities.
