Now seems as good a time as any to revisit one of the classics of American political theory:
"Civil Disobedience," by Henry David Thoreau (1849).
(It was originally titled "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.")
Thoreau's essay influenced the giants of human rights movements around the world, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Thoreau himself was a lifelong abolitionist, and his opposition to slavery inspired the speech that became this essay.
