In support of civil disobidience

Civil disobidience is the deliberate disobeying of a law to advance a moral principle or change goverment policy.When consience and law do not coincide,individuals have the obligation to promote justice by disobeying the law. Elections do not not give people sufficient opportunity to express their will. In certain circumstances,civil disobidience is a powerful method of making the will of the public heard. If a law is oppressive,it cannot be opposed by obeying it. It must be broken. Civil disobidience has a history of overcoming oppresive and unpopular policies where all other methods have failed. In fact, conflict with the authority, gives any protest its power and urgency and brings an issue to a wider audience.
