People have the right and obligation to break laws that contradict higher laws. Outside of that, the civil government has the right to create whatever laws it wants.
No, it doesn't. The government has no right to exist. Where does it get this authority from? From God? The divine right of government to exist?
If the government supposedly exists by consent of the governed, that implies that the "governed" can withdraw their consent, thus implying that even arguments for the existence of a state admit that there are reasons for the state to not exist.
