Law and Justice Response

The main idea of the article Law and Justice is that as a people we have a right to change the government by disobeying the laws it sets upon us when we feel that we are being wronged. Not only is it our right to challenging our government to increase our well being but in many times it is our obligation as a citizen to stand up for our beliefs so we can help others as well as ourselves. By standing up to the exploitation we are fulfilling the right that was given to us that we reserve the right to overthrow a government when it is not protecting us. While we may not be overthrowing an entire government, we are challenging its status and ways of doing things to better suit the changing times and thoughts. The fact of the matter is, if we hadn't expressed ourselves and fought to change laws, we would still be part of a monarchy in England, and women and African Americans wouldn't have the right to vote. If we do not use this right to change the government, we are just agreeing with an overbearing government. By not protecting ourselves, we are not protecting our future.
