Legal and Political Obligation
This book focuses upon the perennial question of the existence and nature of an obligation to obey the law. Leading writers have, at one time or another, emphasized considerations such as gratitude, 'divine ordering, ' prudence, contract, autonomy, and utility in seeking to justify, or to deny any justification for, some sort of obligation to obey the positive law. The book provides relevant selections from a sampling of the historical approaches to legal obligation taken by writers such as Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Thoreau, Bentham, Marx and Engels, and Martin Luther King, Jr. These classical discussions are augmented by critical questions and commentary, by independent discussions of the question of legal obligation by a wide range of contemporary writers, and by relevant judicial cases discussing matters such as conscientious objection and civil disobedience.

Does the Law Morally Bind the Poor, Or, what Good's the Constitution when You Can't Buy a Loaf of Bread?
Wright (law, Cumberland School of Law, Samford U.) traces the basic legal and political implications of life for the desperately poor, arguing that the law fails to recognize the special circumstances of the severely deprived. He explores the Constitution as it is applied to the poor in our society, and advocates rejecting environmental determinism without holding the poor to unreasonable standards.
