Resistance to Civil Government, known as Civil Disobedience for short, is an essay through American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that turned into first posted in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals need to now not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have got an obligation to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the authorities to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was prompted in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).In 1848, Thoreau gave lectures on the Concord Lyceum entitled "The Rights and Duties of the Individual in relation to Government. This formed the premise for his essay, which turned into first published beneath the identify Resistance to Civil Government in an 1849 anthology by means of Elizabeth Peabody called An Esthetic Papers. The latter name outstanding Thoreau's application from that of the "non-resistants" (anarcho-pacifists) who were expressing similar views. Resistance additionally served as a part of Thoreau's metaphor comparing the authorities to a device: while the machine was generating injustice.

Society is a very complex structure that many have tried to mould, manoeuvre and sometimes even manipulate. Thoreau in his endeavour has been very clairvoyant when it comes to the role of the public in how the government chooses to govern its people. While specifically talking about American Government, he plainly suggests that people are not 'obliged' to follow something that they don't think is right. One should simply distance themselves from the evils of the government because meekly following them would mean giving your approval for the same and thus fanning it further. An intelligent read to understand yet another dimension of the society!

"Walden and Civil Disobedience" is a collection that includes two of the works of the famous American writer Henry David Thoreau. "Walden", perhaps Thoreau's most famous work, was published in 1854. Originally published under the title, "Walden; or, Life in the Woods", the novel experienced some success after its release but went out of print after five short years only having sold around 2,000 copies. However, after Thoreau's death in 1862, the book was re-printed and enjoyed more critical acclaim. Many scholars now praise it as an American classic. The book is a memoir of Thoreau's time living in the woods near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau lived for two years and two months by himself in the woods and set out to live simply and meagerly off of the land and Walden Pond, the body of water that was near his cabin. The novel details his journey of self-discovery, his thoughts on carefully managing finances, and his musings on society as a whole. "Civil Disobedience" is a short essay that was originally published in 1849 under the title, "Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience)". The essay details Thoreau's views on the individual's obligation to his conscience over the laws of the government. The essay deals particularly with Thoreau's dislike of slavery and the Mexican-American war.

Thoreau about the dropout Thoreau: "I moved into the woods because I desired to live with reflection, to come closer to actual, real life, to see if I could not learn what it had to teach, lest, when it came to dying, I should find I had not lived. I did not want to live what was not life; life is so precious. Nor did I want to practice renunciation unless it became unavoidably necessary. I wanted to live deeply, to suck out all the marrow of life, to live so hard and spartanly that everything that was not life was put to flight." Gröls Classics - English Edition

Thoreau asserts that because governments are typically more harmful than helpful, they therefore cannot be justified. Democracy is no cure for this, as majorities simply by virtue of being majorities do not also gain the virtues of wisdom and justice. The judgment of an individual's conscience is not necessarily inferior to the decisions of a political body or majority, and so " it is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.... Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice." He adds, "I cannot for an instant recognize as my government which is the slave's government also."The government, according to Thoreau, is not just a little corrupt or unjust in the course of doing its otherwise-important work, but in fact the government is primarily an agent of corruption and injustice. Because of this, it is "not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize".Political philosophers have counseled caution about revolution because the upheaval of revolution typically causes a lot of expense and suffering. Thoreau contends that such a cost/benefit analysis is inappropriate when the government is actively facilitating an injustice as extreme as slavery. Such a fundamental immorality justifies any difficulty or expense to bring it to an end. "This people must cease to hold slaves, and to make war on Mexico, though it cost them their existence as a people."Thoreau tells his audience that they cannot blame this problem solely on pro-slavery Southern politicians, but must put the blame on those in, for instance, Massachusetts, "who are more interested in commerce and agriculture than they are in humanity, and are not prepared to do justice to the slave and to Mexico, cost what it may... There are thousands who are in opinion opposed to slavery and to the war, who yet in effect do nothing to put an end to them."

Henry David Thoreau was een meester van alle onderwerpen, hoewel hij vooral bekend staat om zijn werk en geloof in transcendentalisme. Zijn geschriften zijn allemaal buitengewoon persoonlijk en zijn voorbeelden van natuurlijke waarnemingen in de echte wereld. Thoreau geloofde in de rechten van alle mensen, en hij geloofde dat mensen zich terug moesten trekken in de natuur om terug te keren naar de natuurlijke orde van de wereld. In "Walden" vertelt Thoreau over een periode waarin hij in een door mensen gemaakte hut in de buurt van Walden Pond in Massachusetts woonde. De denker wenste zijn geest te zuiveren van de gestructureerde sociale orde en in plaats daarvan perspectief over zichzelf te krijgen. Hij geloofde er volledig in zelfvoorzienend te zijn en de transcendentale filosofie te volgen. Terwijl hij in Walden Pond was, deed Thoreau een ontdekking over zijn mening over de regering, die hij uiteenzette in " Hij was van mening dat de mensen op hun hoede moesten zijn voor overheidscontrole, ongeacht hoe goedbedoeld de beslissingen zijn. Deze gedachten waren geïnspireerd door Thoreau's haat tegen slavernij over de hele wereld, evenals de problemen die verband hielden met de Mexicaans-Amerikaanse oorlog. Thoreau was van mening dat de mensen geen belasting moesten betalen als ze het niet eens zijn met iets waarvan ze denken dat het verkeerd is. Deze individuen betaalden voor slavernij en een oorlog waar ze het niet mee eens waren, en het betalen van belastingen betekende instemming met de volledige controle van de regering. "Walden and Civil Disobedience" is een zeer intelligente tekst geschreven door een van Amerika's meest productieve schrijvers, en beide essays zijn klassiekers in de Amerikaanse literatuurcanon.
