In paragraph 16-17 it contrasts the laws that discriminate against black people. He explains how unjust laws ones that degrade human personality, while just laws uplift humans. He later says that the majority compel the minority to follow a law that binds them whilst not binding them. That was as he described difference made legal. They make the laws to where while the minority are chained in a sense, the majority are free to do whatever they want. So By breaking these unjust laws it is in a sense showing respect for the law.

It makes the reader think about how those who lived in that time felt experiencing all of these problems and laws. When he said, "Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust" I heavily agree. Think back to JIm Crow laws, which separated black people from white people by behaviours and what they are/aren't allowed to do. "All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality." This proves that people grow angry, complacent, learn to avoid spaces and pass that knowledge unto their children. We should not have to be afraid of the world.

In paragraph 16 and 17 King uses the words “Just“ and “unjust” as an antithesis to show and explain how Unjust defines that whatever someone does is not right or out of code. King explains in paragraph 16 “ any unjust law is a human law that is unjust” and further Explains that “ any law that degrades human personality is unjust”. In the same paragraph he then explains what “Just” Meant explaining that “ A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God” meaning a just law is a fair law. So my opinion is that i think King uses the words “Unjust” and “just” to support his argument for breaking certain laws Because he knew the laws were unjust and tried to do what was just which meant breaking a few laws.

King uses the phrase “ An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.” This statement helps the reader understand what kings point of view of an unjust law is and how he contrasts and compares the laws. Furthermore , the use of the question “ How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust?” Helps the reader wonder and ask themselves how much time he had to wonder about what was “just or unjust” meant to him. Lastly, the statement “ Is not segregation an existential expression of man’s tragic separation” helps us understand that king might be emotionally effected by segregation and wanted to express that.

In paragraph 16-17, King is talking about the differences between "Unjust law" and "No law". He explains that an Law is just an "man made code that is out of harmony with the moral law of God". An Unjust law is an Human made law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. He is comparing and contrasting the two Laws and breaking down to the people the true understanding of these meanings. All laws are NOT equal and are not all fairness to it. An Law makes an human personality.

Martin Luther King Jr. uses anthesis in paragraph 15-16 to explain the difference between how a law can be just or unjust. In paragraph 16 he says “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God.”. He argues with the two by sayin “An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.” He agrees more with a just law. I would agree more with it too. “Any law that uplifts human personality is just” this is from paragraph 16 also.

Ajaveun :

King uses a fancy technique called antithesis to back up his argument for breaking certain laws. He basically sets up a contrast between two types of laws: the fair ones and the unfair ones. He asks, "How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" Then he explains that there are just and unjust laws. By doing this, King is saying that it's important to challenge unfair laws and fight for justice. It's like saying, "Hey, not all laws are created equal!" This technique helps King make a strong argument for breaking certain laws.
