In "Resistance to Civil Government," Thoreau criticizes the institution of government for practicing unjust policies such as slavery, the Mexican-American War, and the enforcement of unjust laws. He argues that individuals should resist supporting such actions through passive resistance and civil disobedience. Thoreau advocates for individual conscience and moral principles as the foundation for just governance.
