Just and Unjust Law

"Let us consider a more concrete example of just and unjust laws.
 An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. 
 By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal." - Martin Luther King Jr. MLK
