It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.

Summary

This quote, commonly attributed to civil rights activist and philosopher Martin Luther King Jr., suggests that laws which are unfair or morally wrong do not possess the true essence of what a law should be. It implies that adherence to unjust laws is not a moral obligation and that individuals have the right to challenge or resist such laws. By declaring an unjust law as "no law at all," the quote underscores the importance of justice and morality as fundamental components of the legal system, prioritizing the inherent value of fairness and equitable treatment.
