When is Breaking the Law Justified?

Before the American revolution people were happy with being able to tax themselves be there own nation and not have to worry about the British being there to do something about it but when the British started the stamp act that all changed because the Americans realized that they were being treated unfairly. That’s when they decided that they should start a revolution which led to the American Revolution; we won the war that’s when we decided after a while. We should make our own government that let us tax ourselves in a fair way that everyone would agree to that way we wouldn’t have worry about anyone else like the British try to come over and take over our nation. When we think back to when we started the revolution we think that what we did was a good thing because what if we never started the revolution we would probably still be ruled over another nation like the British we wouldn’t be our own country we would be a British country its events like the American Revolution that make breaking the law justified.

When people started coming to this country, in the 1900’s people started to hate being treated unfairly like Martin Luther King Jr. he knew that people were being treated unfairly so when he started the civil acts right he made another great historic event. What if MLK Jr. never started to civil acts right and told the government and people of the U.S. about how they were being treated unfairly? People would still be treated unfairly making racial comments to people and fghting over how they should be treated. There would be fighting all over the streets would be more dangerous then they are now there would be war all over because people would be mad that they were being treated unfairly. That day when all the people band together and finally got the government to agree with us was a historic day we finally got our rights that we deserved

  1. Ok. Both examples are good to use, but some of your facts are off. See me to discuss the events/people etc discussed in your second example.
