What if two people's consciences disagree?

Do it regardless. If you're right other people will realize that. If not, they won't.

That literally does not answer the GP's question.

You're just an anarchist. We can save a lot of steps if you just state that outright.

I can't be an anarchist because I don't believe anarchy exists. In every group of humans, power structures and hierarchies form spontaneously from normal social interaction. Even if you abolished all forms of government, they would simply reform. A state of anarchy is impossible.

I'm merely a proponent of civil disobedience.

> Any man who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community on the injustice of the law is at that moment expressing the very highest respect for the law out of all other freedom struggles.

You're right, I misunderstood what anarchy was. My apologies.
