Why Is Civil Disobedience Wrong
Affirmative Argument
Civil disobedience is the refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest.
The reason civil disobedience is morally justifiable is because, as noted in the definition, it is peaceful. Peaceful civil disobedience does not harm anyone, in fact, it just gives the people the freedom of speech they were promised in the Declaration of Independence, which might I add, resulted initially for civil disobedience. Everyone was given a voice and they should be able to practice it openly without causing any upheaval.
If someone feels that the issue is so prodigious/ colossal that they must speak on it, who are we to hold them back. Laws are shaped for the people, but if that said law or act is not benefitting the society ,in which it was made for, than why should it be carried on.

How can disobeying ever be civil? Civil disobedience is not and will never be truly peaceful. If you look at some of the cases in history which started out as civil disobedience such as the French Revolution may I remind you of what resulted from that, thousands and thousands of deaths, some of maybe innocent people! Especially in our society, where people tend to turn to violent actions, will civil disobedience ever truly be peaceful? Or will it just be the door way to revolt and chaos. This is the question you must ask yourself while contemplating if it is just or not. All I have to say to you is, what has resulted from your own experiences of disobedience, because if they have resulted in reward than you can get back to me. It is no secret that America is a perfect society, but that should not compel the citizens to respond in civil
