The Law of God is the objective standard so that men know when governments are making unjust or immoral law. The disobedience of the lesser magistrate is not subjective. He is only justified in defying the higher authority when the higher authority clearly contravenes the law of God, or makes law which is clearly an attack upon the person, liberty, or property of the people in the lesser magistrate’s jurisdiction, or when the higher authority makes law or policy which violates the Constitution.
