Justice

Introduction

Many years ago, people used to complain about the injustice in the society. The rate of injustice has decreased in the last century, but injustice still prevails in our society. This is the reason why difficulties have been created for countries to respect the individual's and offender's rights. Individuals are not given equal opportunities and rights. The security and justice system has evolved in the last couple of years which has changed a lot of things in the security and justice. This paper discusses the civil disobedience. Civil Disobedience espouses the need to prioritize one's conscience over the dictates of laws. The key to more justice is to provide the individual with what the needs, rather than focusing on the needs of the community.

Justice is a philosophical principle, legal and moral meaning that fundamental human actions must be punished or rewarded according to merit under the law, the moral and other sources of prescriptive behavior.

The government makes the laws and rights as per the needs of the entire community. The government grants citizens rights in the constitution. The rights are listed in the bill of rights.

Other rights include freedom of speech, worship and religion.
