Thoreau begins Civil Disobedience by saying that he agrees with the motto, "That government is best which governs least." Indeed, he says, men will someday be able to have a government that does not govern at all. As it is, government rarely proves useful or efficient.
The thing which a government does when it vows to achieve disarmament is to:
- Be accountable
- Show the destruction of weapons to the world
- SIgn peace treaties.
<h3>Disarmament</h3>
This refers to the situation where a country decides to reduce, limit or eradicate its military weapons, usually nuclear weapons.
With this in mind, when a government says that it wants to achieve disarmament, then it would have to go through the process of disarmament which has to be transparent and open to all and also a legal contract would be signed.

Before answering the question, it is convenient to mention that James Baldwin was a Black writer in the decade of the 50s and even though there were other Negro Writers in the literary world, they all suffered from racisms and social prosecution, the novel “Notes of a native Son” is close to an autobiography assembled from essays James Baldwin had written. In the novel the author intends to depict the hatred black people had to suffer at that time.
The figurative device that Baldwin uses to emphasize the rage buried beneath his father's outward appearance and actions is:
The paradox “vindictively polite.”
Here the word "vindictive" is expressing the inner rage that was beneath his father outward appearance, and the word "polite" expresses the overt emotions or actions.
