There's a difference between cooperating with the authorities because she has no choice and being pro registration.
Off course they had choice, even if it was a choice between cooperation and being a criminal, it's a choice Emma made without much qualms in the past. The 198, where everyone knows where all the muties are at all time, and are comfortable in the knowledge that Sentinels have their weapons trained on them at all time, could never have happened without the full and willing cooperation of the Westchester Mansion, the frontlawn of which is where it was organised. It was private a institute that in no shape or form was obligated to lend itself for a government project. Emma wasn't neccesarily happy with it but that's not what we are arguing.

Also the superhuman registration act required anyone with powers to register so that would apply to all mutants as well.
Yes, but that already happened for the mutants, there was no unregistered mutants running around with secret identities, fighting crime, they were tagged and sorted already. Carol wanted them to add their active battlestrength to the effort against Steve Rogers.
