This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks to the idea that in any government no matter the form there will always be elements of corruption and injustice. The quote suggests that even if those in power are good people they should not blindly obey the laws that are set in place as these laws may be unjust or oppressive. Emerson believed in the importance of challenging laws that oppress people and doing what is right even if it means disobeying laws. He believed that it was important to do what is right regardless of what the law said even if it meant suffering the consequences.
