    FIRST PRINCIPLES FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS TO GUIDE POLITICS AND POLICY NO. 65 | DECEMBER 31, 2017 The Limits and Dangers of Civil Disobedience: The Case of Martin Luther King, Jr. Peter C. Myers Abstract At the heart of the American character is a seeming paradox: America is a republic of laws, yet it has a long tra- dition of civil disobedience. Martin Luther King, Jr., the most renowned advocate of civil disobedience, argued that civil disobedience is not lawlessness but instead a higher form of lawfulness, designed to bring positive or man-made law into conformity with higher law—natural or divine law. As King’s own legacy reveals, however, civil disobedience is complicated in its theoretical basis and problematic in its practical effects. It is justifiable, in exceptional circumstances, by the first principles of free, constitutional government, but it is dangerous in that it poses a threat to the rule of law. The judgment as to when circumstances warrant, along with the practice of civil disobedience itself, must be governed by the most careful prudential regulation. To gain our bearings amid today’s protests, characterized more by disruption and coercion than persuasion, we should look beyond contem- porary justifications and return to the best of King’s thinking—and beyond King, to the understanding of civil disobedience grounded in America’s first principles. Introduction own assistance, would shortly thereafter declare to At the heart of the American character, evident be revolutionary and justified by a law higher than since our nation’s birth, is a seeming paradox: Amer- any human law.1 Acutely aware of the turbulent his- icans take pride in our self-image as a republic of tory of republics,2 America’s revolutionary Found- laws and no less pride in our propensity toward righ- ers hoped that Americans would prove exceptional teous disobedience.

  • The Gaspee Affair As Conspiracy by Lawrence J
    The Gaspee Affair as Conspiracy By Lawrence J. DeVaro, Jr. Rhode Island History, October 1973, pp. 106-121 Digitized and reformatted from .pdf available on-line courtesy RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1973_Oct.pdf On the afternoon of June 9, 1772, His Majesty's schooner Gaspee grounded on a shoal called Namquit Point in Narragansett Bay. From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence.

  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.

  • The Sons and Daughters of Liberty Questions
    Name Date The Sons and Daughters of Liberty By Cindy Grigg Caption: A depiction of the tarring and feathering of Commissioner of Customs John Malcolm, a Loyalist, by five Patriots on 5 January 1774 under the Liberty Tree in Boston, Massachusetts. Tea is also being poured into Malcolm's mouth. The print shows the Boston Tea Party occurring in the background, though that incident had in fact taken place four weeks earlier. Note the noose in the tree and the Stamp Act posted upside-down. After Britain began taxing the colonies in 1765, the colonists were angry. They had no representatives in the British Parliament. In Boston, there were public demonstrations. People flooded the streets to protest what they felt were unfair taxes. Angry mobs went to the home of the king's agent who was supposed to collect taxes in the colony. Colonists who fought the tax called themselves the "Sons of Liberty." The name came from a speech made by a member of Parliament. He also opposed the tax. Some of the Sons were common laborers. Some were merchants. Some were lawyers. Some were artists. Some were doctors. Some were newspaper publishers and writers. All of them were Patriots. They supported political freedom in the colonies. These men often held public protests against British taxes and laws. They rallied around "Liberty Trees", "Liberty Poles", or other public meeting places. In Boston, two prominent leaders were Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. In 1773, the tax on tea led the Sons of Liberty to make a public statement. "It is essential to the freedom and security of a free people that no taxes be imposed on them but by their own consent or that of their representatives." They declared that as long as tea was taxed, anyone who brought tea into the colony "shall be deemed an enemy to the liberties of America." The Sons of Liberty planned and carried out the Boston Tea Party in December 1773.

  • The Boston Tea Party (1773)
    Name______________________________________________________ Date_________________ Period_____ Causes of the American Revolution: The Boston Tea Party (1773) The Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16, 1773. It was one of the key events leading up to the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party was a protest by the Sons of Liberty, a radical group of patriots who were against the British government. They staged the protest by boarding three trade ships in Boston Harbor and throwing the ships' cargo of tea overboard into the ocean. They threw 342 chests of tea into the water. Some of the colonists were disguised as Mohawk Indians, but the costumes didn't fool anyone. The British knew who had destroyed the tea. At first, throwing tea into the ocean dressed as Mohawks might seem a bit silly, but the colonists had their reasons. Tea was a favorite drink among the British and the colonies. It also was a major source of income to the East India Trading company. This was a British company and the colonies were told they could only buy tea from this one company. They were also told they had to pay high taxes on the tea. This tax was called the Tea Act. Why were patriots upset about the Tea Act? _____________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ This didn't seem fair to the patriots because they were not represented in British Parliament and didn't have a say on how the taxes should be done. They refused to pay taxes on the tea and asked that the tea be returned to England. When it wasn't, they decided to protest Britain's unfair taxes by throwing the tea into the ocean.
