Laws are meant to be benefit socially , and hence, they should not hurt the natural law. Hence, obedience of an unjust law is not necessary.
A civil disobedience is justified in case the law is unjust and is detrimental to the society and nation as a whole.
Hence, it was also written in the Declaration of Independence "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation", which makes it justifiable for a person to go against law which hurts the natural justice and society.
