1.According to MLK a just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. As well as saying that any law that uplifts human personality is part of a just law.

An Unjust law is a code that is our of harmony with the moral law. It is a human law that is not rooted in ternal law and natural law.

2.I do think just and unjust laws make a difference in peoples lives every day, and affects them in many forms. The just law as MLK said it can uplift human personality, but it is rare to see a just law or any law do this for all its people. I think a just law should be a law for the people, all people, all that live in this nation, for all to feel protected and cared for, no matter how big or small the issue may be.An unjust law is the total opposite, even though it may be put out or presented as being a law for all. This too, affects individuals and society as whole. I do believe that because of ideology whether politicians like it or not it does have some type of effect in politics. Due to this even if anyone in politics wants to look away it is hard to do so due to the way society is today and to the fact that no matter how hard or how good one may be the person next to them can and will have a completely negative or opposite way of interpretating what is being said or done.

3.A just law in our country is freedom to practice or not practice religion, or to follow what each religion may demand. It was very difficult to think of one just law that is applicable to all that reside in this country. However, for unjust laws I can think of many, but I think that Jaw Walking is one of the worst unjust laws. This is not so much in NYC but it is in other cities in our country. In Georgia, a mother was prosecuted for manslaughter even though the person who killed her young son was a drunk driver. The mother and her son had to one third of a mile to finally find a crosswalk. Since they Jay Walked she was prosecuted with vehicular homicide even though she was not driving a car. This is an unjust law because people who don’t even have vehicles are being prosecuted as if they did. Many low-income neighborhoods don’t have the same resources as other social economic classes do, which makes this very unfair and unfortunate.
