How is civil disobedience typically defined in connection of the citizen's?
Constitutional impasse is defined as the citizen's relation to what civil disobedience I mean, not constitutional impasse?
Civil disobedience is usually defined as pertaining to a citizen's relation to the state and its laws, as distinguished from a constitutional impasse in which two public agencies, especially two equally sovereign branches of government, conflict. For instance, if the head of government of a country were to refuse to enforce a decision of that country's highest court, it would not be civil disobedience, since the head of government would be acting in her or his capacity as public official rather than private citizen.
