A
故意违犯成文法律的行为(非暴力反抗),顾名思义,是一种违法行为。关于非暴力反抗的理论研究承认,非暴力反抗目口使事出有因也应受到惩罚。事实上,违背法律的行为即使仅作为形式上的异议而非实质性的异议,其无论在道德上还是在法律上,都是不容许的。只有当那些法律违背了人类生活的基本价值观,公民对此进行非暴力反抗,以示道德上的保护时,该行为才能得到合理支持。
有一种假想认为,法律是非暴力反抗的确黼对象,该假想中充斥着不可忽视的道德、法律责任。根据该假想,公民如果在道义上是正当的,他必须准备呈交对违法行为的起诉书;井在该起诉失败时,他应当受到惩罚。他甚至可以要求实施该法律并心甘情愿地默认法庭的最后裁决。
为了保持一个公平的社会,我们必须认可“宽容原则”,政府必须容忍以适当方式表达出的个人异议,个人也必须容忍依法确定的多数裁决。没有人能滥用自由,所有人都得对反对意见持宽容态度。持异议者必须接受对他们的异议所持的不同意见,并对它们持尊重的态度。如果不尊重这一原则,那么公民的非暴力反抗不仅在法律上是错误的,在道德上也是不恰当的。
