Walden

this title Walden And On the duty of civil disobedience Democracy is not a cure for this, since the majority by the simple fact of being majorities do not also obtain the virtues of wisdom and justice. The judgment of an individual's conscience is not necessarily inferior to the decisions of a body politic or the majority, so it is not desirable to cultivate respect for the law, as well as for the right. The only obligation that I have the right to assume is to do at any time what I believe is right ... The law never made men one iota more just; And through their respect, even the well-disposed become agents of injustice on a daily basis. . He adds: "I cannot for an instant recognize as my government that it is also the government of the slaves."
