Document Summary
We looked at mills and rawls to talk about liberty and justice. Starting today we"re going to look at particular issues. The first is civil disobedience and the law. It has an authority simply in being the law. We may disagree with it, feel there is osmething wqrong with it, or try to break it, but it is generally not something people tkae lightly. Immediate personal gain many people break the law. > belief that the law is wrong, in search for justice. Because they think that hte law is unjust. Because they think that an unjust has been misapplied. If we decide the only way to change the law is to disobey it, then we may feel we have to. This is what we often think about when we discuss civil disobedience. Because they think that a just law has been misapplied. Sometimes people disobey legal officials because they feel that the law has been misapplied.
