"Romans 13 says that good rulers make good laws for the good of society and that they should be obeyed".
We are a nation born out of rebellion to god then right? I think you are missing the context of "Romans".

The exact opposite, actually. The argument about good leaders making good laws was the basis for the rebellion: the declaration of independence included that long list of usurpation which were BAD laws from BAD rulers.

Your statement makes no sense unless you think George III qualified as a "good ruler". I don't think many historians would agree with that assessment.
