Hi there this is the exact Plato answer:
Henry David Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” attempts to persuade people to break a law if the law itself is corrupt or unacceptable. In Thoreau’s case, he refused to pay a $1 poll tax because he deemed it to be unjust. His refusal to pay a dollar resulted in him being thrown in jail, but he stuck to his principles and beliefs. Through his essay, Thoreau also conveys that a person should not be afraid or embarrassed about going to jail, but should gladly serve the time if it means attention will be brought to an unjust law. Thoreau argues that people shouldn’t blindly trust laws and societal norms if they are unjust.
