JOHN RAWLS: “THE JUSTIFICATION OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE”

Summary/Abstract: Author discusses the grounds of civil disobedience in a constitutional democracy. In that regard, thoughts on the conditions under which the legally established democratic authority be opposed by act of civil disobedience are limited to that framework. Author claims that in a reasonably just democratic regime, civil disobedience, when it is justified, is normally to be understood as a political action which addresses the sense of justice of the majority in order to urge reconsideration of the measures protested and to warn that in the firm opinion of the dissenters the conditions of social cooperation are not being honored.
