I'd say D because it says "if they ever should use it in earnest against each other, it will surely split." Government only has as much power as the people let it have

The correct answer is D.

In this passage from "Civil Disobedience", Thoreau compares the American government with a wooden gun to show that it does not posses real power.

It only has the appearence of being powerful, but in reality, it's the people who have the power and the government is only as strong as the people decides it should be.
