  Civil authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Civil authority is that apparatus of the State other than its military units that enforces law and order.
Less often it is used (as "Civil authority") to distinguish between religious authority (for example Canon law) and secular authority.
It is natural to man to live in society, to submit to authority, and to be governed by that custom of society which crystallizes into law, and the obedience that is required is paid to the powers that be, to the authority actually in possession.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Civil Authority
Civil authority is of God, not by any revelation or positive institution, but by the mere fact that God is the Author of Nature, and Nature imperatively requires civil authority to be set up and obeyed.
As it is, civil authority is a natural means to a natural end and is checked by that end, in accordance with the Aristotelean principle that "the end in view sets limits to the means" (Aristotle, Politics, I, 9).
But while civil authority, or government, is natural and universal, the distribution of authority, otherwise called the form of government, or the constitution of the State, is a human convention, varying in various countries, and in the same country at different periods of its history.

 Guide to Civil Disobedience : Resources : Wage Peace Campaign : AFSC
Civil disobedience is a refusal to obey an order from a civil authority or public nonviolent violation of a legal prohibition.
As understood by the American Friends Service Committee, civil disobedience is a conscience-based, heartfelt action which, while in violation of the law, reflects and draws on the religious convictions that are the base of AFSC's service and which witnesses to AFSC perspectives on major societal issues.
When contemplating civil disobedience, therefore, an individual should be aware of its potential for good or ill, and before undertaking it, carefully examine his or her options, motivations, and attitudes.

 Lincoln Crossing the Rubicon
HEN THE CIVIL WAR started in the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar defied the civil authority and crossed the River Rubicon in 49 B.C. This was a violation of the Roman constitution, for no army was to cross the Rubicon and enter Rome under arms.

The reaction to Tailhook '91 was not the first time that the civil authority in the Department of Defense took a close look at the organization and its annual event.
His basic position was that all air transport should be under one authority (the Air Force), and that air transport organic to a particular service unit was not a cost-effective way to run a defense department.
Many of the decisions by the civil authority are hard for military professionals to accept or understand, and some should be fought to the end, regardless of the consequences to the leadership.

 Submission to Civil Authority--Part 1  -  John MacArthur
The command could be translated, "Put yourselves in an attitude of submission." The ancient world tended to associate that attitude with cowards and weaklings, but God's Word teaches that submission to civil authority is the divine and right way to live.
Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves." Even though slavery, physical abuse, murder, and immorality dominated Roman society and government, believers were to submit to civil authority because it was divinely ordained.
When civil authorities uphold law and order, they function as God's ministers, fulfilling a God-ordained role of keeping order in society.
