    926 words
    In a concise essay, Thoreau proffers a challenge to all men, not to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.

Thoreau clearly states, in his On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, that the government is unjust and doesnt represent the will of the people, that one man cant change the government, and that peop...

When this occurred, one was cleansed of materialistic aims, and was le...
