“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”
— Thomas Jefferson

Simplified Meaning:
When unfair actions or rules are put in place by those in power, people have a responsibility to fight against them. It's like if a school made a rule that only certain kids could use the playground, leaving others out unfairly. The kids who aren't allowed to play should stand up and say it's wrong because everyone deserves a chance to use the playground. In history, many people have done this, like Martin Luther King Jr., who fought against laws that treated people differently based on their skin color. By resisting these unfair rules, people can work towards making things fair for everyone. Standing up against injustice isn't just something you can do; it's something you should do to help create a better society.
