I agree with all of your answers. :-)
Well, on 6 I disagree. However, others might agree. There has been in my lifetime a change in the connotation of the word "civil". However, in my understanding of Thoreau, "civil" does not mean peaceful, it meant government. You can do your own reading of the essay.
Now on 7, I agree it is the best answer, and there should have been a better answer.
You are correct on #6. "Civil disobedience" does mean protesting unjust laws. Thoreau advocates peaceful protest, but the protest he advocates is against laws that seem unjust or immoral, etc.
thank you all!
Thoreau supported in writing John Brown in has violent actions at Harpers Ferry, which was hardly peaceful. In his essay Civil Disobedience, I find zero references to only peaceful resistance...but references to any means necessary. One should read the essay itself. Thoreau is good reading.
Gee. I guess I must find out who this Thoreau is and read whatever it is he wrote. What band did he play with?
