Do Masonic oaths supersede any oath to nation?

This is a loaded question... there is no correct way to answer this question to be honest. The Masonic oaths do not supersede one's obligations or the best interest of their immediate family, ever, under any circumstance. Traditionally it is considered that an oath to a "True and Just" (my words not Freemasonry's) government supersedes any oath to Freemasonry. Having stated such it is expected that every Mason's actions should be from a moral standpoint; that is what Masons strive for in every day life or are supposed to do so. If a government is unjust and seeks to oppress the people then one (meaning a Freemason in this instance) might consider it their duty and morally correct to act on such a matter.
