ESSAY ON: Thoreau and Civil Disobedience

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page essay that defends Thoreau’s position in his essay “Civil Disobedience.” Thoreau argued against adhering to the dictates of any society or obeying any law simply because it is a law. Rather than blindly accepting the authority of the state, Thoreau felt that people were obligated to obey a higher law, one that was dictated by their own conscience and based on principles of natural justice. An examination of Thoreau’s argument shows it is logical, persuasive and draws upon the principles of freedom and justice on which the United States was founded. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
