Civil Disobedience - (Henry David Thoreau)

In this influential work, Thoreau explores the concept of civil disobedience as a means of protesting unjust laws. He argues that individuals have a moral responsibility to resist and disobey unjust laws to bring about social change.

The essay, first published in 1849, had a significant impact on future movements advocating for civil rights, nonviolent resistance, and social justice. Thoreau's ideas continue to inspire and provoke critical thinking about the balance between individual rights and responsibilities within society.
