Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau

Men are afraid it will make things much worse for them if they go against the government even if they know they are right and the government is wrong. It is very hard to change the minds of people who support the government the way it is. They always think someone else will do something but no one ever does so nothing ever changes. People want a better government but they won’t do anything to correct the situation. Thoreau want the people to rebel against the government and revolutionize together because they are treated like slaves and subjected to military law. The people feel that the government is protecting their rights. The government lets them keep their property if the people listen and obey what they say. The government has the right to take their property away from them. Most of the people are afraid of the government and what the government will do to them and their property if someone disobeys their orders. ” The emotional part of his essay of Civil Disobedience is that he wants the people to speak up about what type of government they would want to have.Īnother emotional part was when he started to tell the people to stop paying their taxes so that if the government doesn’t get what they want then maybe they will reform and change their ways.
