'should we only obey a just regulation; should we obey a regulation because it is just to do so; or additional can we not comply at all?'The questions that will be responded in this term paper are 'Must we only comply a just law?', 'Should we obey a law because it is just to do so?'and 'Or additional, can we not comply at all?'

Woozley in 1979 states: If political managers and policeman chiefs had their way, all of us would accept as true that a mighty reason (possibly the standard, if not the only, reason) that we should comply a regulation is that it is a law. In fact, with the exclusion of a exceptional class of laws, it is no reason at all. This is the core of discussion if there is a general lesson obligation to obey the law.

People who contradicted with the authorities' principles begun contending that occasionally, a civilian is supported in acting illegally.
