Civil Disobedience -- Henry David Thoreau

Sparked by Thoreau's outrage at American slavery and the American-Mexican war, Civil Disobedience is a call for every citizen to value his conscience above his government. Within this 19th century essay, Thoreau explains government of any sort - including democracy - does not possess more wisdom or justice than its individual citizens, and that it is every citizen's responsibility to avoid acquiescence. More than an essay, Civil Disobedience is a call to action for all citizens to refuse to participate in, or encourage in any way, an unjust institution.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Henry David Thoreau<br><b>Publisher:</b> Empire Books<br><b>Published:</b> 12/06/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.13lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.07d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781619490925<p></p>
