According to MLK, how can we tell the difference between just and unjust laws?

A just law is a law that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a law that is out of harmony with the moral law.

In your view, is this an important distinction (between just and unjust laws), do you think it makes a difference in the way someone (as an individual, or our society as a whole) lives their lives? Can it affect our politics?

I don’t think it makes a difference how we live our lives as a whole, a society or as individual person because if a law is not put in place to prevent the targeting of a specific group, race or gender of people no matter how law abiding you are, you will eventually be a victim of injustice if there is nothing set in place to protect you.

Based on our discussion of Question 1, give an example each, of an unjust and just law, in the US today. Explain what makes it unjust or just (using MLK’s definition of those two types of laws).

A just law is our constitutional rights that our founding fathers had previously written which is for us the people to have the right to bear arms. Unjust laws are the governments rights to amend our constitutional rights to prohibit and implement changes that would stop us from having the right to bear arms. No law should infringe in our rights to bear arms.
