When Is Breaking the Law Justified?

First of all, the purposes of the government are as followed. They are to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, to ensure domestic safety, to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty.

To say that breaking a law can be justified requires that the government has broken one or more of its purposes and not followed the guidelines of enforcing them. If I government has breached its purpose, breaking the laws to set things right can be justified.

If I were in a country with perfect laws and perfect enforcement of those laws, it would be rare. However, if the government were to not follow its purpose, I would most likely start a revolution to set the government straight again. I would do this, because what good can come a country’s government if the government itself is corrupt? Anarchy could erupt more if the government was corrupt more than if the citizens of the country revolted against an unfair government.

They Never Want To Stay, But They Never Want To Go

Many immigrants come to the United States annually and for very diverse reasons. Most nowadays come the United States as to make better money than they can in their home country. Others come as to be able to have a great deal more of freedom. If i were to decide to immigrate from my country, then i would do it for freedoms. Yes, the US does have a lot of freedoms. However, other countries do have more freedom despite an increased crime rate and higher rate of public disturbances.
