In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau championed the idea that if a government is not going to improve itself, then it is the duty of the people to refuse to support it. This paved the way for non-violent protests, such as those led by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr

Answer:

Thoreau showed that we should not accept everything that the government imposes. We must protest and complain when the government hurts our freedoms. As a result, he has influenced marches against the tyranny of governments. One example of this influence was the marches for civil rights.

Explanation:

Thoreau's premise in "civil disobedience" is actually quite simple: a human being can not associate with a government with which he does not agree without dishonoring himself! Otherwise, it is only one slave, plus one, even if he does not recognize or even that he exits and criticizes him from behind.

For Thoreau the Government sits on his throne and enjoys everything from the proud top of his strength and the servile obedience of his people. We know it should not be like that, but we do not even know where to start a change ... Thoreau knows, the biggest affront to the government is to challenge his authority by saying, "We will not do it! You are wrong and we are right! ", This is civil disobedience. With that, Thoreau influenced the society to protest peacefully, against the government to show their dissatisfaction.

What is not one of Mark Antony’s true intentions behind his speech
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: To befriend and support the conspirators.

Explanation:

Mark Antony is a character from Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar</em>. He is Caesar's supporter and friend. It is due to his support that Caesar managed to become as successful as he is, and to be the ruler of Rome. However, Roman Senators, including Brutus and Cassius, decide to murder Caesar, as he has become too powerful. Upon Caesar's death, Mark Antony delivers a speech which makes people who loved Caesar both sad and angry, weakens the conspirators' control, and affects the emotions of the audience through the use of demagogic language. Therefore, the purpose of the speech was quite the opposite of befriending and supporting the conspirators.
