King explains the just and unjust laws.

Explanation:

In the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by 'Martin Luther King Jr.' wrote defending allegations against him. He explained his motive for the "Civil Rights movement" and why non-violent action was required for the movement to be successful. Dr. King wrote that the attitude of whites towards African Americans was hostile and he was fighting for their rights. He used rhetorical devices to claim that his actions are correct, and they are not illegal.

He said that disobeying one law doesn't means it is immoral. He justified himself that non-violent ways of protesting is legal as he says asks the question, “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?".
