The summary of the purpose and main ideas of Henry David Thoreau's <em>"Resistance to Civil Government." </em>is:

  • The author wants his readers to make their conscience a priority over the laws of the land.

  • He wants the government to be limited in their actions as he feels that they do not conform but instead they have unlimited powers.

  • He criticizes the government's involvement in the Mexican-American War.

  • He criticizes American social institutions and policies that he feels are stifling to the privacy and independence of citizens.

<h3>What is the book all about?</h3>

This refers to the main ideas of Henry David Thoreau as he decides that civil disobedience is one of the ways citizens can resist an unjust government.

Hence, we can see that he prioritizes human conscience to do what is right over the dictates of the law and he also criticizes the government's involvement in the Mexican-American War.
