First of all, the purposes of the government are as followed. They are to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, to ensure domestic safety, to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty.
To say that breaking a law can be justified requires that the government has broken one or more of its purposes and not followed the guidelines of enforcing them. If I government has breached its purpose, breaking the laws to set things right can be justified.
If I were in a country with perfect laws and perfect enforcement of those laws, it would be rare. However, if the government were to not follow its purpose, I would most likely start a revolution to set the government straight again. I would do this, because what good can come a country’s government if the government itself is corrupt? Anarchy could erupt more if the government was corrupt more than if the citizens of the country revolted against an unfair government.

Excellent post. Your details make your argument sound. I particularly like this question you pose. "what good can come a country’s government if the government itself is corrupt?"
Well written. 20/20 points.
