Question

What was Henry David Thoreau’s primary purpose in writing “Civil Disobedience”?

Answer 1

It's either B or C, I would be more for C, but I'm not sure.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

Thoreau wrote "Civil Disobedience" to express his discontent about the government control over its citizens.

In the essay, Throreau argues that people should be allowed to act according to their believes, rather than be obliged to follow laws dictated by the mayority. This is because he believes that, even though the majority is the strongest group, it does not mean that they always have the right point of view.
