When is breaking the law justified?

I do not think Britain upheld there side of the deal. They were still trying to run America. The British keep charging them taxes. The colonist came to America to for religion. I think its real messed up how the British did things.
Then when the colonist wrote up the declaration of independence. The British retaliated against every person who signed. The colonists were standing up for what they believe.
I think a good example of when people broke the law because the government was not upholding justice? The United States in 2000 submitted reports on its compliance with two international human rights treaties- the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment-to the respective treaty monitoring bodies. Both reports acknowledged significant abuses of the rights affirmed in those treaties.
The report also glossed over the impact of the reservations, after Native Americans got together and marched.
