Henry David Thoreau’s influential essay argues for nonviolent resistance to unjust laws and government actions. Inspired by his opposition to slavery and the Mexican-American War, Thoreau champions individual conscience and moral duty over compliance with authority. This work has inspired leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., becoming a cornerstone text in discussions of civil rights and social justice.
