Question

What technique does Martin Luther King use to support his argument on the difference between just and unjust laws?

Answer 1

Thomas Aquinas to make the distinction between just and unjust laws. “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law,” King responded. “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws.
