It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The law doesn't create a right.
Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.
Any law which violates the inalienable rights of man is essentially unjust and tyrannical; it is not a law at all.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right.
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
The law, in our case, seems to make the right; and the very reverse ought to be done - the right should make the law.
It is the right of our people to organize to oppose any law and any part of the Constitution with which they are not in sympathy.
Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
A law is a law, and it has to be respected.
