Unjust Law Example 1: Segregation Segregation: the legally-enforced separation of different races In much of the U.S., until 1965 accommodations for African- Americans were separate and consistently inferior For example: Schools, restaurants, waiting rooms, busses, water fountains, etc.

Unjust Law Example 2: Japanese Internment Japanese internment: During World War II, all American citizens who were Japanese and living on the West Coast were taken from their homes and put into camps because the U.S. government thought they might be spies No evidence of spying was given and no one was given a proper trial

Unjust Law Example 3: Gay Marriage? Are laws stating that homosexuals cannot be legally married unjust? Why or why not? Source:
