Answer:
According to Thoreau, people who have the ability to serve the State without corrupting their conscience and maintain the ability to question government decisions as well as resist oppression caused by the government should be considered heroes.
Explanation:
Thoreau believed that heroes were essential for civil disobedience to be effective in the country. This was because for him it was necessary for citizens to be loyal to themselves and to be able to defend their concepts about what was right within society. For him, heroes totally fit that statement, because they were people who served the State, but remained true to their own beliefs.
This is because the heroes, even serving the State, were not corrupted by government benefits, but maintained their conscience and had the courage to question the State's decisions without fear of possible oppression.
