How did prohibition help liberate women?
At the time of Prohibition (which was enacted in the year 1920) very few women had any job other than as some man's wife, and therefore they were dependent upon their husband's income, but it was quite common for women to be afflicted with alcoholic husbands who spent all their money on alcohol, leaving little or nothing for their wives to feed the family and pay for other family needs. The main purpose of Prohibition was to put a stop to this. Of course, in practice, lots of men simply bought alcohol anyway, on the black market, at even higher prices, so their wives did not benefit. But some men did respect the law and stopped drinking, thus making more money available for their wives.
Is there anything moral to do that is illegal?
By moral, usually the thing is 'good' and would therefore never be illegal. The exception here lies within what society believes to be good. This varies with societies, countries, religions, etc. BUT! here is a real live example of something very simple that IS moral and illegal at the same time (and this may be very far fetched but I'm trying to think of an example for you). Ok so you see an old lady fall to the floor while you are driving your car in a parking lot where it is marked NO PARKING OR STOPPING. You park, get out, help her up and to her car or whatever. Since the city placed a sign to show a law, and you broke that law, you performed an illegal action. However, you did a moral deed by helping the lady. Nevertheless, these actions are related, not one in the same. If you mean is the exact same action itself both moral AND illegal, then I revert back to my initial answer... not unless your government/etc is very different from normal. It is technically moral to believe in God and to practice your religion in virtually every country. However, for example, in Iran, the members of the Baha'i Faith (the largest religious minority and the second most widespread religion in the world) are systematically persecuted by their government. They are expelled from universities, have their possessions confiscated, are kept tabs on, have their business licenses revoked, pretty much are 'illegal.' Since the Iranian government is non-secular, they use the their fear of the peaceful Baha'i religion and make it virtually illegal.
If someone is dying in front of you by law are you obligated to seek help for them?
Not unless you have a duty to that person established by unique relationship or circumstance. A parent would be obligated to save a child where he could do so without risk to himself. The "duty to rescue" is almost universally NOT formalized in law. It exists purely as a moral obligation in most situations.You have (in most places) a "duty of care" that includes seeking help for injured or providing first aid if such aid is not available. In some places you can get fined for not helping.In others you can be sued.
What is the prohibition in the fourth commandment?
The core idea of the fourth commandment is to keep the Sabbath holy. This is more of a "do" than a "do not", but the rest of the commandment fills in some of the "do nots" to help people fulfill the "do". According to the commandment, the main thing to avoid doing is working on the Sabbath. This prohibition extended to all the members of the family and even guests or "strangers" in your house. The reasoning, which is included in the commandment, is that God made the world in six days, and rested on the seventh, and made it holy, so we should also rest on that day. In the Bible this commandment was taken very seriously, and people were stoned for not following it. Gathering firewood was the first infraction after the Ten Commandments were given on Sinai, and the Sabbath-breaker was stoned for it. There are other similar examples in Scripture, but by Jesus' day, the priests and leaders had invented many additional restrictions to try to keep people from breaking the Sabbath. Jesus attempted to help people understand that these were against God's will. This is why he said things like "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." He was trying to clarify what the religious leaders had made confusing and unnecessarily complex. It isn't so much about what you shouldn't do as about what you should.
