Matthew J. Trewhella (4)
We have no reason or obligation to obey the State when they redefine the rule of law contrary to divine law, and create law which is antithetical to the justice God has declared to apply to all men. Rather, men have a duty to resist and oppose unjust or immoral law.
Matthew J. Trewhella
Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates, 52 as the rule of law crumbles in our country -people will increasingly see the need to take a stand against unbridled tyranny. The lesser magistrate doctrine provides the means whereby a proper and just stand can be made.Lesser Magistrates, 69
the lesser magistrate does not need any support from the people in order to act. He can and should act when warranted because he has the right and duty in the sight of God to do so. Nevertheless, the people should (and do) -by their action or inaction -play a role of immense importance when it comes to the effectiveness of the lesser magistrates' interposition against tyranny.Lesser Magistrates, 58-59
Remonstrance is an archaic word rarely used today. But it is exactly what the people are supposed to do in order to fulfill their role in combating tyranny. To remonstrate means to present strong arguments against an act, measure, or any course of proceedings.Lesser Magistrates, 55
