Question

select the word that means a person who doesnt obey the rules.
although largely forgotten today, william walker was widely renowned in the 1850s. like many americans at that time, he believed that the u.s. should expand into central america. unlike most private citizens, however, walker launched his own invasions in defiance of u.s. law, which prohibited citizens from waging war against foreign nations.
in 1853, walker marched into mexicos baja peninsula, where he presided for several months before his
ew republic\ collapsed. in 1855, the renegade then led a small force into nicaragua and joined an ongoing civil war there. when his faction prevailed, walker seized control of nicaragua. he ruled for almost two years, until an alliance of central american countries finally expelled him.

Explanation:

The text describes William Walker as someone who disobeyed U.S. law (by launching invasions) and acted against rules (as seen in his actions in Mexico and Nicaragua). The word "renegade" is used in the text to refer to him, which means a person who deserts and betrays an organization, country, or set of principles (in this case, going against the rules/laws).

Answer:

renegade
