1. According to MLK, Just laws align with moral laws, religious laws. They uplift human personality. They protect people by prohibiting actions like stealing or murder. Unjust laws do not align with moral laws, religious laws. They are human law that is not rooted in natural laws. They degrade human personality. They make you feel bad or hurt you, such as racist laws. They are designed to keep the second class forbid things and make unreasonable assumptions about people, for example barring them from attending medical school based on irrelevant factors.
  2. In my opinion, I think it is an important distinction between just and unjust laws. It will affect our ideology and define who we are and how we act in the society. It will affect our politics as well.
  3. My example for unjust law would be immigration laws. Certain immigration policies in the United States, like using aggressive deportation methods, violate human rights. These policies lead to families being split up, violations of fair legal procedures and mistreatment of immigrants. My example for Just Law would be marriage equality. This was a big win for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in the United States. It’s like what MLK said about just laws—they treat everyone fairly and with respect, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity.
