Question

what were the aims of the civil disobedience movement? How far was the Cockroach successful in its objective?

Answer 1

Civil disobedience is best and originally used to highlight the gap between what is moral and what is legal. Legislated laws that prohibit voluntary interaction and peaceful action are inherently immoral, as are laws that cause harm to innocents. Refusing to adhere to such laws, such as refusing to participate in the draft, or refusing to abide taxation, is a form of peaceful civil disobedience. Since no one has the right to control or otherwise own any individual, no one has the right to prohibit peaceful action or require harm to innocents.

Civil disobedience is a calm way to draw attention to injustice for the purpose of change.
