    • 3 Pages

    Peaceful resistance to laws positively impacts a free society because it is considered a form of expression.

Freedom to do as you please is part of the foundation of a free society because by adding restrictions, you take away the freedom to express one's opinions. Some of the biggest examples of positive effects of peaceful resistance are Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King…
