Civil Disobedience .

 Laws get broken everyday from something petty to things much more serious. But the only condition in which it would be morally justifiable to break the law is under the circumstance that the law is immoral and not justified. If the law is one that isn't to protect us or they violate us and our rights or are used to control us it is immoral. The underlying reasons to have laws are to protect us not harm us although we may not agree with certain laws they are put in place for a reason. So yes i would in fact agree with St. Augustine that 'an unjust law is no law at all' and if it is in fact an unjust law this is where civil disobedience comes into play and we as a society can do something about it. For the people to peacefully get there point across to their government. Instances where it would be legitimate reason to use civil disobedience are things such as slavery, taking away voter rights, segregation, and gay pride for example. These are examples of things that oppress a certain group or people and would be unfair, unjust and immoral. so in my opinion unjust laws aren't meant to do good they are meant to do harm to people so it shouldn't be considered a law at all if good for only a certain group of people comes out of it. The Government is suppose to create a unified society with equal rights and opportunities for everyone.
