One should respond to an unjust law through peaceful resistance, advocacy, and dialogue, aiming to raise awareness about its unfairness. Engaging in civil disobedience can be a powerful means of demonstrating the law's moral shortcomings, as long as it is done nonviolently and with an understanding of potential consequences. Additionally, seeking legal challenges and mobilizing public support can help bring about change. Ultimately, the goal should be to promote justice and uphold human rights.

How does king define just and unjust laws To what opposing view is he providing a counter argument Consider how defining certain laws as unjust provides an incentive for his readers to his actions?
In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Martin Luther King Jr. defines just laws as those that align with moral law or the law of God, promoting human dignity and equality, while unjust laws are those that degrade human personality and are out of harmony with moral law. He counters the view that one should obey laws simply because they exist, arguing that individuals have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. By highlighting the immorality of certain laws, King incentivizes his readers to take action against injustice, encouraging nonviolent resistance as a means to achieve social change. This framing empowers individuals to challenge the status quo and advocate for justice.
Do unjust laws tend to be broken by otherwise law abiding citizens?
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.
