Excellent post. Based on how you describe #2, would you say that unjust laws are not worth following? Obviously there is a certain degree of critical thought required to determine whether a law is just or not, but for would following an unjust law be just for the sake of social cohesion beyond individual disagreements, or should such laws be opposed if they are inharmonious with justice?
I don’t think unjust laws are worth following - but what is an unjust law? Are laws around speeding vehicles unjust because I think I should be fully free to drive as fast as I want? Laws ought to followed and changed through the collective when it is needed. Now if blatantly harmful laws are established where people’s lives are at risk - I wouldn’t follow those.
