-There are recacitrant citizens who do not follow laws.
- There are recacitrant citizens who circumvent laws.
Does the two sentences amount to the same thing?
A brief explanation, if one takes exception towards its sameness.
Thanks.
“circumvent” means find a way to get around the law (rather than blatantly ignore or disobey it):
