Who is the Civil Disobedience poster for?
Civil Disobedience belongs to the Political Science section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning political theory can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Civil Disobedience poster?
Public, non-violent, and accepting the penalty. Those conditions do the justifying work. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Civil Disobedience belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Civil Disobedience?

Is the Civil Disobedience poster free to download and print?
Yes. Civil Disobedience downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Political Science section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Civil Disobedience poster print at?
Civil Disobedience is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Civil Disobedience loses nothing.Printing guide
