Dr. B. R. Ambedkar had cautioned that employing civil disobedience within a constitutional democracy equates to endorsing ‘anarchy’.

In modern Democratic societies, Civil Disobedience is a powerful tool to reform legal system of a country.

For example, Civil disobedience of laws discriminating blacks in Democratic U.S.A has led to the adoption of egalitarian legal and justice system. Similarly this holds true for any democratic system, to uphold principles of equality, fairness, respect for human rights, justice in the modern legal system.

He has to use his conscience to decide whether the act of civil disobedience is just, fair, reasonable.

e.g. Civil disobedience of liquor ban cannot be allowed; but that of Apartheid laws can be allowed.
