The correct answer to this incomplete question is the following.
The question is incomplete because it doesn't provide the text of reference.
However, we can research some ideas and conclude that the question is referring to the "Letter From Birmingham Jail," written by civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
The main idea of the message is that Luther King questions why the law applies to some and not to all. For instance, here is part of the letter: "I was arrested Friday on a charge of parading without a permit. Now there is nothing wrong with an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade, but when the ordinance is used to preserve segregation and to deny citizens the First Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and peaceful protest, then it becomes unjust."
We can see how Reverend Luther King questions why the law continues to support segregation acts against African Americans and other minorities.
Furthermore, King continues saying: "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is, in reality, expressing the very highest respect for the law."
In this excerpt from his letter, Martin Luther King Jr. affirms that his willingness to stay in jail with no protest at all is a clear sign that he and his movement respect the law.
