What does the Bible say about it?
Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good and thou shalt have praise of the same:
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for the conscience sake.
Romans 13:1-6 KJV
