question 16
in
esistance to civil government,\ thoreau advocates doing what when one doesnt agree with a government policy or law?
a vote against the policy
b do not obey the law
c threaten to start a revolution
d leave the country

Explanation:

In Resistance to Civil Government (also known as Civil Disobedience), Thoreau argues that individuals should not support unjust governments through their compliance. He emphasizes that when a law or policy is unjust, people have a moral obligation to refuse to obey it. Voting (Option A) is a more passive and often slow - moving process within the system, which Thoreau was critical of in cases of immediate injustice. Threatening revolution (Option C) is more extreme than Thoreau's non - violent and individual - centered approach. Leaving the country (Option D) is a form of avoidance rather than active resistance against the unjust policy or law. Thoreau's key idea is centered around non - compliance (not obeying the unjust law).

Answer:

B. do not obey the law
