In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOf course, there is nothing new about this kind of civil disobedience. It was evidenced sublimely in the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to obey the laws of Nebuchadnezzar, on the ground that a higher moral law was at stake. It was practiced superbly by the early Christians, who were willing to face hungry lions and the excruciating pain of chopping blocks rather than submit to certain unjust laws of the Roman Empire. To a degree, academic freedom is a reality today because Socrates practiced civil disobedience. In our own nation, the Boston Tea Party represented a massive act of civil disobedience.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWe should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was \u201clegal\u201d and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was \u201cillegal.\u201d It was \u201cillegal\u201d to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler\u2019s Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If today I lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country\u2019s anti-religious laws.\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right; font-size: 85%; font-style: italic; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-left: 8em\">Adapted from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s \"Letter from Birmingham Jail,\" written in April 1963<\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <p class=\"ibew-question-text\">Which sentence best summarizes why King believes there may be occasions when breaking the law is justified?<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <label class=\"ibew-choice-label\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice3\" value=\"A\" class=\"ibew-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">A.<\/span>&nbsp;Paragraph 1, sentence 4 (\u201cOne who \u2026 the penalty.\u201d)<\/label>\r\n    <label class=\"ibew-choice-label\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice3\" value=\"B\" class=\"ibew-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">B. <\/span>&nbsp;Paragraph 3, sentence 1 (\u201cWe should \u2026 was \u2018illegal.\u2019\u201d)<\/label>\r\n    <label class=\"ibew-choice-label\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice3\" value=\"C\" class=\"ibew-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">C. <\/span>&nbsp;Paragraph 2, sentence 5 (\u201cIn our own \u2026 civil disobedience.\u201d)<\/label>\r\n    <label class=\"ibew-choice-label\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice3\" value=\"D\" class=\"ibew-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">D. <\/span>&nbsp;Paragraph 1, sentence 5 (\u201cI submit \u2026 the law.\u201d)<\/label>\r\n    <button class=\"ibew-submit-btn\" onclick=\"checkAnswer(3)\">Submit<\/button><br>\r\n    <div id=\"feedback3\" class=\"ibew-feedback-text\"><\/div>\r\n    <div id=\"explanation3\" class=\"ibew-explanation-text\">\r\nThis sentence from paragraph 1 most distinctly summarizes why breaking the law may be justified.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nChoice A describes how one should break the law if the occasion calls for it.
