In Act 1 Scene1 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar we see ordinary folks decorating statues in the street in honour of Caesar's victory in the civil war. Marullus and Flavius protest, telling them that they have no business celebrating a victory in a civil war, since a Roman lost the war as much as won it. Flavius then tells Marullus that they should "disrobe the images" if they find them "deck'd with ceremonies." Marullus then asks, "May we do so? You know it is the feast of Lupercal." Flavius retorts, "It is no matter; let no images be hung with Caesar's trophies." So off they go and do it.
Was what they did illegal? Marullus seems worried that it is against the laws of the Lupercalia. But it was not. The Lupercalia had nothing to do with military victories. Nor was it a proper triumph, not being a victory against the enemies of Rome. But even if it was legal to do it, it was not a wise thing to do with a dictator (both in name and action) like Caesar around. Casca reports in the next scene, "Marullus and Flavius, for pulling scarfs off Caesar's images, are put to silence."

The answer (based on Science) is lever, where the fulcrum is in the middle, load (the force from the person at the opposite end) and the effort (your weight).

If you marry an illegal citizen and you are an American citizen do you have to live together if you have an alternative lifestyle?
First, there's no such thing as an illegal citizen. Second, there's no such thing as an alternative lifestyle. But if you are asking if a marriage between a gay person and an illegal immigrant of the opposite sex would be valid if it is not consummated, that depends upon the laws of the state where the marriage took place. If the marriage was made with the intent for the illegal alien to gain citizenship or permanent resident status, that won't happen. Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT automatically confer citizenship or permanent resident status.
