Do unjust laws tend to be broken by otherwise law abiding citizens?
Dernch
You are confusing Law and Morality (or Ethics). A law may or may not be "just" -- that's your ethical judgment about it. Your question cannot be answered: one man gathers what another man spills. A law abiding citizen breaks no laws, by definition. It is part of our collective social contract that we abide by the law, whether we agree with it or not, or even if we know what it is. If one doesn't like a law, he or she should seek to change it, through political activity. Some laws are solid -- the vast majority of people are in agreement with them -- others are sketchy -- less people are in agreement. These things shift over time. Different people will find different laws just or unjust, or even the same law in a different situation . . . . Is it wrong to steal? Yes. Is it wrong to steal if your child is starving and there is simply no other way for you to get him or her food? I don't know.
