I believe in a…

the United States of America, the founding fathers developed several laws to ensure that society maintains peace and order, where every person is free to pursue their “American dream”. In order to maintain peace in this society, every person must obey all the laws that are put in place. Although some people may find some laws “unjust”, it is up to those people to take the necessary legal action to change it; not to obey those laws they agree with and disobey those they don’t.
