Overcoming Social Injustice
One shall endeavor to amend them, and obey them until they have succeeded. One should not be content to obey laws unless they are just and one shall not transgress them at once. One should not be content to obey the unjust laws because that would inflict on your god given life. Also you should not be content because you should speak your mind and be brave enough to make a difference in someway if you do not believe in it. In the case of religion, if someone told you to praise a certain god, you would not because that would inflict on your own religion. One should not transgress them at once because that would not promote your point. If an unjust law was placed on an entire country and a majority of the citizens chose to transgress it, chances are the law would only become more strict. One should endeavor to amend them because it shows that you do not accept the laws but it also shows your willingness to change the law. It is a compromise of the two laws without complete rebellion and no change and complete acceptance. Also if you choose to disobey the law you are risking punishment which would stunt ever making a difference.

I don't agree b;/c this won't bring as much attention to the law as staning up against it.
