When is Breaking the Law Justified?

Five Reasons for Government:
- to protect us from harm
- social order
- to work with the economy
- solve conflicts
- provide assistance for the needs

Were there ever a revolution established because the government was not fulfilling the above, I would certianly join no questions asked. It's the government's job to help serve and protect us as we go about our lives. If I didn't agree with something the government was/wasn't doing, I would certianly stand up for what I believed was right. We can't just stand aside as the government goes on doing wrong and taking away personal liberties and the like. We just can't. It is our job as citizens to make sure that the government is doing its' job and interfering with our lives only as often and in a likeness that is necessary.
