According to the article, "Law and Justice," laws create order and stability, but that is not all that we want in life. There is also a strong desire for justice. Obedience to every law may bring temporary stability, but it won't necessarily bring justice. For example, Hitler's followers obeyed his laws and orders, but these laws were very unjust and evil. They were eventually in a situation of complete chaos.
The article poses the question, "Where is our greater obligation: to law or to justice?" The author feels that in some cases, civil disobedience is a better choice than following an unjust law. I agree with the author because many rights in our country were gained through civil disobedience. For example, women won the right to vote through civil disobedience. Another example, of civil disobedience is the Civil Rights Movement. In both cases, the protesters willingly accepted their punishments and were peaceful about the whole thing. In order to have a peaceful and fair society, we need both law and justice, and sometimes that involves breaking the law.
