1. yes. like the jim crow laws. they discriminated against african americans and made things very unfair. it was completely legal, but not moral at all. it’s very inhuman to treat others like that

2. yes. like helping a holocaust victim escape or hide from the nazi’s. it was illegal but people wanted to do it to help and protect them
