What fundamental principle does Antigone proclaim in her confrontation with Creon

The principle of divine law. Antigone argues that the laws of the gods are higher than the laws of man. She says that she is obeying the gods by burying her brother, even though Creon has forbidden it. She believes that the gods will reward her for her actions, even if Creon punishes her.

This principle is based on the belief that the gods are the ultimate authority and that their laws must be obeyed, regardless of the consequences. Antigone is willing to die for her beliefs, and she believes that her death will be justified in the eyes of the gods.
