King argued in his letter that “…one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” and that “An unjust law is no law at all.”  Knowing that King felt this way, I was surprised that he would refer to Socrates, a man who believed quite the opposite, when arguing for his cause. <span>Like King, Socrates was imprisoned largely for standing up for beliefs that others around him disagreed with.  However, though he had numerous opportunities to do so, Socrates refused to break any laws, even though he knew that his imprisonment and condemnation were unjust.  To him, breaking any of the laws of Athens would cause harm to all laws, and not even the injustice of the laws could justify harming them.  Socrates believed that if individuals could obey or disobey the laws as they pleased, the laws would no longer be effective, and the government would fall into a state of chaos.  He concluded that the only just way for him to leave prison and avoid death would be to convince the legal system of its own injustice.</span>

What is one of Edgar Allan Poe's lasting legacies?
alexgriva [62]
The correct answer is C. He opened the field of literary criticism.

Apart from being a poet and a writer during the Romantic era of American literature, Edgar Allan Poe was also a critic. As a matter of fact, while he was alive, he wasn't really famous or celebrated as an author, but rather as a critic. Only after his death did people start appreciating his art, but it was too late - he died poor.
