Presentation transcript:

Thoreau Writing Assignment Civil Disobedience Read the excerpt from Civil Disobedience on pp. 412-413 in the red textbook. Support, refute, or qualify Thoreau’s assertion: “That government is best which governs least.” Is government, in your opinion, an impediment to personal freedom or a tool to protect personal freedom? Your response should include a minimum of three pieces of evidence from the text and should use at least two specific examples from current events/the world/life/your personal experience to support your ideas. This response should be 2-3 paragraphs.
