On Dworkin’s Thought Of Civil Disobedience

In the field of jurisprudence,the theory of civil law-abiding can be said to be one of the core and basic propositions.They believed that the law could not play its role as a social norm if it was not obeyed,and that no one could exercise so-called rights outside the institutional framework of the law.At the same time,civil disobedience has also become one of the common social problems in modern times.Once the resistance against the government exceeds the limit of freedom,it may bring great disaster to the society.As an individual right that has not been clearly defined,if every citizen decides whether to obey the law according to his own inner will and whether to obey according to his own standard of legitimacy,then where is the authority of law? Political rule will also be in disorderly disarray.Similarly,if citizens have no standard of self-judgment and just blindly abide by the law,or even lose the benchmark of justice in their hearts,then the huge monster Leviathan will devour the rights of citizens and eventually destroy the entire democratic society.In this way,blind and complete obedience and the choice of obedience for self-interest are disastrous.Therefore,civil disobedience within reasonable limits has become a realistic demand to promote the progress of modern rule of law.In the west,civil disobedience thought is a theoretical problem,but also a long-standing social problems,after a fellow scholars explore gradually formed a systematic theory of civil disobedience,in the period of Dworkin solidarity and innovation not only in the aspect of theory,theory of civil disobedience to do more in the practical level beyond,he mainly in the state and citizens up the two main arguments civil disobedience.For their part,citizens have a constitutional moral right to act in civil disobedience based on their conscience and to be willing to be punished.For national Governments,the individual rights of citizens must be treated with equal care and respect,and human rights must not be sacrificed for the sake of social utilitarian goals.Political domination has always existed,so the relationship between domination and obedience has become one of the issues debated in any era.Throughout history,citizens have always been dissatisfied with the draconian power and the obedience without any moral support.Therefore,civil disobedience not only promotes the progress of the rule of law,but also challenges the legal order.In order to better play the role of civil disobedience,citizens can do is based on their conscience and cognition,under the legal norms of the conduct of disobedience,and voluntarily bear the consequences of violating the law.For the country,no matter at any time,must pay attention to the interests of the citizens expect and psychological demands,according to the specific social situation after carefully examine the condition of the people actively to adjust the reasonable regulation and policy,improve the citizen’s social status,provide a variety of convenient way for citizens to realize power,thus earning the trust of more people,this is also the current democratic social order under the citizens to agree with the premise of political domination.
