I would suggest Martin Luther King Jr’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” which is the source of much of his justification of his theory of natural law and civil disobedience.
He wrote it on a couple pieces of legal paper when he was arrested for protesting in Birmingham in April 1963. It appeared later in newspaper opinion pages I believe.
Here is King’s ethical justification for non-violence violation of unjust laws:

Dr. King, and those who worked with him, ended up proving that segregation laws were unconstitutional. They had a choice of obeying the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, or the local and state laws that were eventually overturned.
