what are the purposes of king’s allusions?

done

Explanation:

First, identify the allusions: Adolf Hitler's legalized atrocities in Nazi Germany, Hungarian freedom fighters' illegal resistance, and the illegal act of aiding Jews in Hitler's Germany. King uses these examples to contrast legal but unjust actions with illegal but moral ones. He does not focus on German post-WWII progress; he mentions freedom fighters but that is not the core purpose. He does not discourage breaking unjust laws—instead, he implies the opposite. The key goal is to show that some laws are unjust, as Hitler's legalized oppression was unjust, while aiding Jews (illegal) was moral.

Answer:

to illustrate that some laws are unjust
