- Marx saw the system of law as just another reflection of an exploitative, capitalist society. For Marx, the function of law was to uphold the capitalist system—keeping the bourgeoisie on top and the proletariat on the bottom. What are your thoughts on this Marxist view of the function of law? Do you have ideas on the function of law for your definition? (Perfectly fine if you don't have your ideas solidified yet!)
