Description

In this lesson, students read part 1, paragraph 13 of “Civil Disobedience,” in which Thoreau argues that while it is not a moral obligation to actively combat injustice, it is a moral obligation to withdraw passive support from an “unjust government.” Students analyze how Thoreau develops a central idea in this paragraph.
