Dr. martin luther jr.'s philosophy regarding the civil rights movement can best be described as what?
a. civil disobedience meant to win public support to the cause of civil rights
b. a militant movement that called for african americas to resist unjust laws by any and all means
c. merely political because he advocated no action other than to encourage blacks to vote for pro-civil rights candidates
d. secular and innovative because he rejected religion and ignored any attempts by past leaders to bring about social justice.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy regarding the civil rights movement can best be described as A, civil disobedience meant to win public support to the cause of civil rights. Why? Civil disobedience, while still breaking a law, can be justified if that law is going against the natural rights of man, ex: the constitution, where it says that all men are created equal. B cannot be true, because Martin Luther King Jr. did not use militant force( aggressive and violent actions,) on the whites. C is wrong, because Martin Luther King Jr, was a deeply religious man, and did not led the civil rights movement for the soul purpose of political reasons, and finally D, cannot be right, because again he was a religious man, a baptist if you will, who also looked to inspirational leaders from the past, such as Malcom X. Hopefully this helped! have a good day!
