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.

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.

VRANDON,GLADNEY -Uses antithesis 16-19 to contrast the argument for the laws that were broken because its more than one man made law ,a code that numerical or power majority group he was using just ad unjust as the antithesis for saying what is wrong and right for his own opinion.He asks ow can you support breaking some laws and obeying others.King is saying that its important to challenge unfair laws and fight for justice

King uses antithesis in paragraph 16-17 to contrast his argument to. He was changing laws to make the world better. And how he consider of just and unjust laws is ''a code that numerical of power majority group .A law unjust if it is inflicted had no part in enacting. All laws are not equal. But laws uplifts human personality.

King uses antithesis in paragraphs 16 and 17 to his argument on breaking the law for peace. King uses statements like "How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust?" This sentence helps show how he was thinking of this topic for awhile. Later on, King also states "An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law" which helps us understand his viewpoint on what he considered an unjust law. Furthermore, King states in his letter "It is morally wrong and sinful. Paul Tillich has said sin is separation." King uses statements of other historic people to justify his reason to break the law for peace. King uses antithesis to justify his reason to break the law in order to create a world in which his fellow brother and sisters are not discriminated against.

These paragraphs demonstrate King's conviction that he has a moral obligation to fight against injustice, regardless of his outsider status. He believes that everyone has a responsibility to stand up against injustice and work towards a more just society. jeremiah ward

Keep Segregation going. The just laws was rules for everyone the Unjust laws was only to keep the blacks from the whites.

Zemya Hooker

in paragraph 16 and 17, Martin Luther King justifies breaking some laws by contrasting just and unjust laws. He says a just law squares with the "moral law or the law of god". He believes segregation is an unjust law because it states you aren't human anymore, but property. Also stating that segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. He summarizes segregation as "difference made legal".

Antithesis was used in paragraphs 16 to 17 by Martin Luther King to differentiate between laws that are just, and laws that are unjust for humans. "An unjust law is a law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just." He broke certain laws because those laws were very unfair and cruel to the people who weren't white, and he wanted to change those unfair laws into fair laws for everyone.

King uses an antithesis on his argument on how someone determines the difference between "unjust law" or a " a just law" the evidence I used to support my answer in paragraph 16 "How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law."

Martin Luther king jr utilizes antithesis in paragraphs 16 and 17 to strengthen his argument against unjust laws. Through antithesis King makes it known that the moral necessity of his cause and the injustice inherent in certain laws. In paragraph 16, he brings up just and unjust laws.He makes it known of unjust laws and strengthening his reason for disobeying them. This continues in paragraph 17, where King compares laws that uplift people with those who degrade them. He speaks on this to support for challenging unjust laws in race of justice and equality. He now highlights the moral view of the entire civil rights movement.”An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal.”

King uses antithesis in paragraph 16 and 17 to support his argument for breaking specific laws by saying if it just and unjust laws, He says that a "just law" is something he himself would speak for obeying just laws. And for unjust laws one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws, A "just law" is a law a person makes its a code that goes with the moral law or the law of god, and a unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.

In paragraph 16-17 supports the King's argument for breaking certain law's . In paragraph 16 it says How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A law is a man-made code that squares with moral law or the law of god. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. It also says Hence segregation is not only politically, economically and socilolgically unsound, it is morally wrong and sinful. Thus it is that i can urge men to obey the 1954 decision of the supreme court, for it is morally right and i can urge them to disobey segregation ordinances, for they are morally wrong.

In paragraph 16-17 contrasts the laws that are hateful towards black people. He explains that unfair laws are the ones that have the biggest amount of forces on the minority, which means these laws are one sided. For example in paragraph 16 it says “An unjust law is human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law” states that although laws are unjust it’s alright not to follow them.

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.

dr king supports his argument by describing just and unjust laws. He also gives reasons why one would want to break unjust laws. He proceeds support the idea that any law that is unfair to humans is unjust to humanity . he shows different ways that some laws can be just and unjust and gives examples of those laws and how if they are unjust he doesn’t think you should have to follow them

King’s use of antithesis in paragraphs 16 and 17 support his argument for breaking certain laws . By saying that some laws that are towards black people are un justice and unfair ,like in paragraph 16 . it says “ All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality.” This show that certain laws in the world can affect people and can mean differently to black people than white .

Martin use of antithesis is showed in paragraph 16 and 17. He explains the difference between a just law and unjust law. He is contrasting these two words because he is implying how they are different morally. Having “a moral responsibility to disobey unjust law”. Making it hard for things to be fair during segregation. These unjust laws creates division and discrimination “on a minority”.

In paragraph 16-17 it contrasts the laws that are being hateful towards black people, and he explains how unfair laws are the ones that have the biggest amount of forces on the minority or that the laws are one sided.

Text evidence- In paragraph 16 “ An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law”.

Martin’s use of antithesis in paragraphs 16 and 17, is used to contrast the two different laws. The laws being unjust laws which affect and degrades some, and man made laws that are put in place for all.

Martin Luther King Jr 16-17, he talks about about the law and unjust laws he says a just law is man made.Any law that uplifts humanity personality it just.

In paragraph 16-17 hid arguement for breaking certain laws is whether its a law or a unjust law, and a law is a man-code that squares with the moral law or law of god. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.

In the passge the author use antihesis in 16/17.The author is constructing the idea that the diffenece between A just law and a unjust law. In paragraph 16 he staes,"A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god." he also in paragraph 6 he states "An unjust law is a code thaat is out of harmony with the moral law." he compare these two law throught most of 16/17 .

“It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.” -paragraph 16

In paragraph 16 it’s talking about how some people have a false superior sense to some people.

“Let us consider a more concrete example of just and unjust laws.” - paragraph 17

They want to force the laws more so that people do not think that they can do whatever they want. They want people to know that if you do something bad your not getting away with it.

1st period

King uses antithesis in paragraphs 16 and 17 to support his arguments for breaking certain laws by showing in paragraph 16 it says “it gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority” this shows the segregator gets a false sense of superiority and to the one that is getting segregated a sense of inferiority because of the segregator.In paragraph 17 is says “a majority group compels a minority group” it shows the they are obeying but without knowing what or why

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.

-Guston Cook

In paragraph 16-17 Martin Luther king is using the idea of the differences between a law and an unjust law in paragraph 16 he uses he states “a just law is man a man made code that squares with the moral law of god “ statements like these he compare the two laws through paragraph 16/17

The use of Antithesis paragraphs 16 and 17 from Martin Luter King Jr arugment “Letter From Birmingham Jail” support the difference between an unjust law and a law that isnt a law at all.

In the passage "Letter From Birmingham Jail" it depicts how Martin Luther King use of antithesis in paragraph 16 and 17 support his argument by stating how two different types of law could determine humans. For example in paragraph 16, it tells "how does one determine whether a law is just or unjust." Meaning how do these two laws can be determined for us. Also, in paragraph 17, it explains how these two laws could it could benefit us in a bad way. For example, "An unjust law is a code for numerical or power majority power.
