Conclusion.
Any law which comes into passing must be just and moral, without these merits it is not a law. The effects of unjust laws coming into being unquestioned have resulted in the deaths of millions in the last century alone, most clearly with the deaths of six million or more non combatants in Europe during the Second World War. These laws were followed out of fear, not out of reason, as the murdering of millions can only be done. I shudder to think at the possibilities of injustice being thought of as law, as its potential has only recently been seen. In a world where weapons continue to shorten the lifespan of human existence, one can only be comforted by the fact that justice can never die, and those courageous enough to do so will stand up in the face of tyranny, knowing the laws which hold them like chains are but fear, waiting to be extinguished. An Unjust Law cannot, and will never be, a Law, until the day law, and justice, is no longer known to those with reason enough to identify it.
