Answer: He feels sorry for the state for not acting in a sensible way
Explanation: Henry David Thoreau stated that citizens should disobey obedience to the state if the state behaves unfairly to them. Specifically, to ignore laws that are unjust. In his work "Civil Disobedience", he described his views as well as the experience of refusing to pay taxes to the state, considering it as his act of disobedience, but as a general view of the otherwise unfair taxes imposed on citizens by the state. In doing so, he criticised the state and called for civil disobedience in order for the state to treat the citizens more fairly and to truly fulfil the supposed role of the state as a protector for the rights of citizens. Because if the state fulfilled its supposed role, the need for disobedience would not exist. As the state did not act in accordance with what Thoreau thought, he even imprisoned him for criticising the state, and in his work he wrote exactly how disappointed he was and regretted the actions of the state.
