23. In the 1960s during the Civil Rights movement, people would frequently protest laws that permitted
segregation based upon race by peacefully refusing to obey them. For example, Rosa Parks, an African
American woman, was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a Montgomery bus. Many such protesters
justified their disobedience based upon the belief that the segregation laws were immoral and unfair. They

because the government has a moral duty to treat all persons equally and fairly whatever their race. Which
jurisprudential school of thought is reflected in such beliefs?
