  The paper attempts to answer two questions based on the thoughts of Plato and Kant concerning the issue of law preservation. The first question refers to the foundation of law obedience and the second one concerns the educational implication of it. The method of deduction is used in this study and in order to find the similarities and differences of the two philosophers' views the method of comparative analysis is used. Both philosophers define law preservation as the absolute obedience of law. The two aims of law preservation include: a) obedience of law in practice and b) scholarly discussion for the reformation of law. The two philosophers agree on three principles: awareness of law contents, awareness of necessity of law obedience, and the critical view to the laws and their contents. In addition, Plato holds two other principles: respecting the law and the absolute priority of law obedience and Kant holds the principle of reflection and discussion. Educational methods based on these principles are: explanation of legislation necessity in curriculum, presentation of practical models on obedience of educational rules, performing open sessions for discussion and reforming school and class rules and regulations based on the above-mentioned principles.
