Question

What does Martin Luther King Jr. Men when he says I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.

Answer 1

well, to understand what im about to tell you, you need to understand laws and the judicial system were put into place so people could have justice. so there would be rules against unjust behavior. he is saying, in a nutshell, that if a law is unjust and goes against your better judgement, it should be broken. that by breaking the law, people have respected what this country was built on.

Answer 2

Thank you so much could you answer another thing about Him?

Answer 3

sure what is it?

Answer 4

I kind of get this one but a little confused

We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that, if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.

Answer 5

Answer 6

What is the main idea in this paragraph

Answer 7

OHH okay. its kind of reinstating what was previously said. that though killing a jewish person or a black person was legal, comforting them and helping them was not. even though helping them was what the conscience told people to do.
