“It was not enough for the teacher of perfect humility… to submit himself to the Humble Virgin. He must also submit himself to the Law.” –Bonaventure
The life of the follower is a life of submission, not only to those worthy of submission, but also to those who are not. If we do not submit to even an unworthy government, then we cannot prove them unworthy. If we do not submit to an unworthy system, we have no right to critique it.
(BTW, voting is a right and not a duty. We are given the opportunity to vote, not the command. Thus one who does not vote still has the right to speak concerns about government—especially about the voting system)
