Resistance to Civil Government
"Resistance to Civil Government" is an essay by Henry David Thoreau. It was first published in Æsthetic Papers (1849) and was based on an earlier lecture given at the Concord Lyceum. The essay was republished in 1866, after Thoreau's death, in the anthology A Yankee in Canada, with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers, where it was titled "Civil Disobedience", which is presently the more commonly known title. Both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. acknowledged the influence that the essay had on their activism.
