Answer:

The best answer to the question: What does "Civil Disobedience" suggest about the public opinion of tax evasion in Thoreau´s time?, would be, C: If allowed to continue, tax evasion was a serious offense.

Explanation:

It must be first remembered that when Henry David Thoreau wrote his famous  essay "The Rights and Duties of the Individual in Relation to Government", which was later known as "Civil Disobedience", the United States was smack in the middle of confrontations with Mexico in the infamous Mexican-American War, to which Thoreau opposed vehemently, as well as to any form of slavery, or imperialism. As such, in his essay Thoreau invites people to place their conscience and doing what is morally right individually, over the rights of government and the principles of the majority. He does not invite to anarchy, or to the destruction of government, but to an individual effort to manage bigger changes in the structures of government. He actually invites people to actively oppose oppression and unjust measures of government through this "civil disobedience", which are small exercises that will eventually limit government power. In order to fulfill his own principle, Thoreau decided to go against one of the main principles in American life, which was, paying taxes to the government. In doing so, he ended up in jail and he was criticized for this because people of his time believed that paying taxes was a basic duty of any citizen and not doing so was considered a serious crime. This is why the answer would be C.

Lorico [155]

The correct answer is D. Take an oath of loyalty to the United States.

Explanation:

Naturalization is a process foreign people can complete to acquire the citizenship of a country, which allows them to have the same rights and protections of those who are born in that country. In the case of the U.S., this process requires multiple steps but the general last step in the process is to take the oath of loyalty or oath of Allegiance, which means the individual has been accepted to be a new citizen and he/she needs to the declare loyalty to the U.S. government and Constitution, as well as, acceptance of obligations as a citizen. According to this, option D is correct.

Which best describes the Enlightenment?
klemol [59]
Hey there!

The root word in Enlightenment is Enlighten.

To enlighten someone, is to help them understand, about a specific subject or point of view. 

For example, when you hear someone say "Enlighten me", they may mean something along the lines of "explain it to me".

This phrase is often used when someone is confused, or does not understand a specific subject, or aspect.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Social stigma, also called public stigma, refers to negative stereotypes of those with a mental health problem.
