Rawls

Civil disobedience according to Rawls is a public non-violent conscientious act contrary to law usually doe with intent to change policies or laws. In civil disobedience the minority call the majority to change. Rawls also feels that the best place of civil disobedience to happen is in a constitutional democracy. This is due to the fact that in a democracy there is room or challenge. In other forms of government is someone were to challenge the authority of the majority it could result in injury arrest or death. Living in a democracy allows its citizens the opportunity to achieve change through society rather than having to seize control of the government. I fell that although having the power of government is definitely a route to power, however social change can sometimes be more effective when weighing the cost and the gains.
