Laws in nature have to be beneficial to the governed body; if the opposite were true, the Social Contract would allow individuals to dismiss such laws because they violate the rights of life/liberty/property somehow. Furthermore, if you look into the philosophy of Civil Disobedience and the belief that an unjust law is no law at all, people can violate the law without comitting any moral wrong should the law be unfair in some way, shape, or form.

The second, indeed, is a premise I argue for.

If this doesn't get much discussion going, I'll switch to the negative in order to push my case.
