"[This is] the doctrine that we cannot accept the command of an authority, however exalted, as the ultimate basis of ethics. For whenever we are faced with a command by an authority, it is our responsibility to judge whether this command is moral or immoral.

It is our decision whether to obey a command, whether to accept authority. "

Immanuel Kant
