Can a Mason, if his mind so moves him, engage in Civil Disobedience?

Didn't George Washington do that and a bit more besides?
I thought half those who signed the US declaration of independence were
Masons and could be viewed as doing "civil" disobedience, if not
insurrection and rebellion against the government...

I know we are all friends 300 years later but at the time?

There are no moral absolutes.
