Lincoln referred to the law as the "political religion of the nation." In the instance of slavery, which he personally detested, he nonetheless insisted that it must be preserved in the places it currently existed since it was protected by the Constitution. Even his famous emancipation proclamation did not attempt to free slaves in all states.
In more modern situations, we can't always get what we want. Those "laws" may take the form of the person or group in power. We must respect it, and focus on those things that we can change.
