A Christian can disobey the government when it makes a direction that, in the view of the courts, is contrary to the Constitution. A Christian can also disobey the government when it makes a direction that is contrary to its own legislation.

In some circumstances, a Christian is permitted to disobey the government when it directs that person to take an action that is contrary to his or her conscience. So, a person is permitted to refuse active military service on the grounds of conscience, and a health worker is permitted to refuse to perform an abortion on the same grounds. This exemption does not extend to harrassing or obstructing others who obey the government.

Are people ever justified in openly violating laws like the Fugitive Slave Act that they disapprove of and consider immoral Should the majority always rule?

Some may argue that in cases where laws are viewed as deeply immoral, it can be justified to openly violate them to uphold higher moral principles. The decision to do so often stems from a belief in fundamental human rights and justice, even if it means going against the majority viewpoint. This can spark debates on the extent to which majority rule should dictate moral behavior.
