Read the excerpt from a letter Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote while imprisoned in Birmingham Jail in 1963. One who breaks an unju

st law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. Based on his behavior in "Civil Disobedience," how would Thoreau most likely feel about King’s statement? He would believe that his reasons and King’s reasons for protest were completely unrelated. He would disagree with King’s belief that one must accept the penalty for political protest. He would believe that King did not understand the nature of political protest. He would agree with King that one should engage in political protest peacefully.
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS D: He would agree with King that one should engage in political protest peacefully.

I think edginuity changed the letters from before because previous answers show this as letter B

  Martin Luther King's efforts were inspired by Thoreau's definition of Civil Obedience being his words an extension of Thoreau's in his text. Both of them went to jail under a law that they resisted to, which is a form of peaceful political protest.  In the Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" we get the same message that we get from King's letter:

   "<em>Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison</em>."

<em>    (...) It is there that the fugitive slave, and the Mexican prisoner on parole, and the Indian come to plead the wrongs of his race, should find them; on that separate, but more free and honorable ground, where the State places those who are not with her but against her,—the only house in a slave-state in which a free man can abide with honor.</em> <em>If any think that their influence would be lost there, and their voices no longer afflict the ear of the State, that they would not be as an enemy within its walls, they do not know by how much truth is stronger than error, nor how much more eloquently and effectively he can combat injustice who has experienced a little in his own person."</em>

<em>  </em>    The excerpt above it's similar to Luther King's because it shows that even from jail, the one who find a law to be unjust and suffers it's penalty, is able to show society how unjust this law is, this attitude may change the law quicker , as many just men suffers from it.
