    Citizens choose to be silent about a law they may find unjust because they are afraid of what could happen to them if they disobey the just and unjust laws.

    According to King, unjust laws are not moral with the current law, as an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. He also says that the unjust law is not a law at all and that the unjust segregation law distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.

    King also states that he will invite all the citizens to disobey the segregation laws because they are morally wrong.
