Summary:

On the Duty of Civil Disobedience is an important essay written by
American author and Philosopher Henry David Thoreau. This influencial
work argues for individual resistance to civil government in
opposition to an unjust state due to moral reasons. Thoreau compares
government to a machine and argues that it is the duty of citizens to
make sure that their government is just and that if it is not, it is
equally their duty to stop the machine. On the Duty of Civil
Disobedience is highly recommended for those who are interested in
the writings of Henry David Thoreau and those who are discovering his
works for the first time.
