Manifest Destiny was a term that described the widespread belief in the mid-19th century that the United States had a special mission to extend west.

Explanation:

The concept was not particularly new, as Americans were already exploring and settling west, first across the Appalachian Mountains in the late 1700s and then, beyond the Mississippi River in the early 1790s.
But by presenting the concept of Western expansion as one's religious mission, the idea of manifest destiny struck a chord.
Although the phrase manifest destiny seems to have taken on a public mood in the mid-19th century, it has not been observed with universal approval.
Some at the time thought that they were simply putting pseudo-religious fields on a radiant craving and conquest.

In your opinion, is taking the law into one's own hands

Svet_ta [14]

The simple answer to your complex question is NO. This is assuming that you live in a country where there are good laws (remember that history is full of bad governments that implemented bad laws) and that law enforcement is effective. Simplisticly, you should only ask yourself this question when your or your families life is being threatened and law enforcement is not around. Your response must still be within the constraints of your laws or you will find yourself in hot water. I'm not even going to try to discuss the ethics and morals that can apply as the situation can vary immensely. Keep it simple - don't operate outside the law, rather fight against unjust laws.
