Unjust is State power where the law is either uncertain or unknown. It has been said the power of the state arises from the consent of those whom the state governs, however the truth is that all state power derives from laws alone.
Laws create the state and justify state action.
In a very real sense, laws are the state. To the extent people know the laws of a state and consent to their enactment and enforcement, the state is just because it is truly consensual. If laws are either uncertain or unknown, however, the state is unjust and should be altered. For this reason, Public Legal Education is a moral imperative, for only by Public Legal Education can laws be known and their exercise by the state be just. Unless people know the laws that give the state power to control their lives, the consent that would validate the state's power is not informed consent.
