How does king define just and unjust laws? To what opposing view is he providing a counterargument? Consider how defining certain laws as unjust provides an incentive for his readers to support his actions.

This is only a short answer space. King defines just laws as those that conform to the “moral law or the law of God.” Just laws “uplifts human personality".

Unjust laws are “out of harmony with the moral law” and “degrade(s) human personality.” King says that unjust laws punish not only the segregated but also the segregator.
