“Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
Rules and regulations are meant to make sure everyone is treated fairly and justly. When these rules no longer serve that purpose, they can hurt society instead of helping it. Imagine a dam that is built to control water flow and provide benefits like irrigation and electricity. If the dam stops working correctly, it can cause floods or droughts, ruining lives and land. In the same way, if laws prevent fairness and justice rather than promote them, they stop society from moving forward and improving. When this happens, it can lead to problems like inequality or injustice becoming worse. For people today, it’s important to look at laws and systems critically and push for changes if they are not working towards justice for everyone.
