In the civil disobedience excerpt by Thoreau, the way that he supported his claim was by the use of: reasoning, showing the logical consequences of supporting a cause that is wrong.
<h3>How does Thoreau show reasoning?</h3>
According to him he is trying to say that people should be more obedient to a higher law and not just a civil law.
He tries to speak to the conscience and the fact that human law is not bigger than one's conscience.
