Hey guys, I need to think of an American law against which defiance would be justified and then I have to explain why the law is unjust and why refusal to obey is morally defensible. Any ideas?

Any law which imposes undo sanctions on our civil liberties. Segregation, is the classic example The Alien and Sedition Acts from early in our history would be another one. Anything shutting down freedom of the press, or speech or religion.

The current campaign finance laws are a classic illustration of the system got amuck. In America one of the greatest things we treasure is the freedom of speech and expression. To limit the amount of time and money that anyone individual or interest can devote towards promoting their agenda is wrong. It becomes a subversive form of thought police. Others deciding for you whether its a good idea or not. Or if your armed with the knowledge you might actually get to make an imformed decision rather than a spoon fed verdict from the media about whats in your best interests.

Segregation laws like the South had against the blacks.
The law is morally wrong, shouldn't be upheld.
In fact, it was Southern Democrats who passed all these laws, what happened to Republicans being racist, hmmm....
If you don't know why segregation is unjust, read about it.

How about the various state laws during the 1930s which sterilized the mentally handicapped even before the Nazis attempted to do the same.
