Personally I believe it
is ok to break the law when it interferes with personal freedom or offends you
to the point where you want to fight it in any way possible. For example, many people did not agree with
slavery, which was law long ago. Many people broke the law and help slaves escape
capture. Another example is you are unhappy with a law passed by congress and
you decide to block the doors to a government agency. Under these conditions I
agree with breaking the law. I endorse civil disobedience when the crime is
made to draw attention to something that is not right in the person’s eyesight.
We all might not agree but your opinion to yourself is what matters the most.
An unjust law is something that may discriminate against you or something that
may interfere with your rights as a human being. I agree with St Augustine that
“an unjust law is no law at all”. Why should I follow something that I don’t
believe in or respect?
Some good examples here, well done.
